Independent auditors’ report to the Trustees of RNIB


We have audited the financial statements of Royal National Institute of Blind People for the year ended 31 March 2013 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Parent Charity Balance Sheets, the Group Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and auditors


As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view.
Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.
This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the Charity’s Trustees as a body in accordance with section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under those Acts (regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and Regulation 30 of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008) and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements


An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s and parent charity’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and nonfinancial information in the RNIB Group Annual Report and Financial Statements to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on financial statements


In our opinion the financial statements:

  • give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and parent Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2013 and of the Group’s incoming resources and application of resources and cash flows, for the year then ended;

  • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

  • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and regulation 15 of The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.



Matters on which we are required to report by exception


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and Charities Act 2011 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

  • the information given in the Trustees Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or

  • proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent Charity; or

  • the parent charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
