Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy
on reserves
Details of any deficit
Donated facilities and services (if any)
The trustees have reviewed the charity's reserves policy during the year In
.
prior periods, the charity aimed to maintain reserves equivalent to three
months’expenditure. Following review, the trustees consider it more
appropriate to use as much funds as possible on awards, given that
expenses are low. The trustees therefore aim to maintain unrestricted
reserves sufficient to fund an average award (£300). At the year end, the
charity held reserves of £272.00 and £415.00 in each of its two bank
accounts, totalling £687.00.
The charity recorded a deficit of £2,701 for the year. This reflects a deliberate decision by the trustees to utilise accumulated
reserves to support the charity’s grant-making activities, with a higher level of awards made during the period.
The deficit was funded from existing reserves. At the year end, the charity retained reserves equivalent to approximately two
average awards accross both bank accounts.
The trustees have reviewed the reserves policy and consider this level of reserves to be appropriate given the charity’s size
and level of activity.
The trustees are satisfied that the charity remains a going concern and is able to meet its ongoing commitments.

Respective
responsibilities of
trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations
does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section
44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent
examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do
not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
Independent examiner’s In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that
statement disclosed on the attached page*]
1.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
2.
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
