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. | |
