Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Filtration Society(The)
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Filtration Society(The) ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 5 April 2018.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

Filtration Society(The)
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 5 April 2018
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under
FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102)
'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial
Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has
entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can
be measured reliably.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation
committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits
will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings
that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use
of resources.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its
estimated useful life.


Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion
of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the
charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for
particular restricted purposes.

It was agreed that there was no requirement to have two separate funds within the charity.
As such the Other reserve and General reserve were amalgamated and the comparative
figures have been restated to show this.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the
financial statements.
