REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER FOR THE YEAR ENDED
31 Juty 2024
Report of The Independent Examln¢r to the Tntstees of the Rondo T￿￿t ft>r the Perfornilng Arts.
Charlty Number 1000061.
I report on the accounts of the Twst for the year ended
31 July 2024
Respecllve r•sponslbllltles of Irust•es and ¢xamin•r
The charity's trustees are resFM)nsible for the preparation of the a￿Ounts. The tharity's trustees
consider that an audst is not required for this year uThJer seth.on 144 of the Chanties Act 2011 ('the
Charrties Acr) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to-.
examine the ac(￿UntS under section 145 of the Charlies A¢
to follow the procedu￿$ lamj dovm in the genernl t)¥ed￿ gi¥en by the Charty Commission (under
sedion 145{51(b} of the Chartties Aca. and
to state whether pathular mattets have Come to my attention
Basls of Independent examln•fs slatement
y examination was carr￿j out in accordan￿ vthh general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination indudes a rewew of the account"rKJ reeords kept by the chajity and a
comparison of the a¢eounts presented with those records. It also indudes consideration of any
unusual tlems or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanab'ons from the trustees concerning
any such matters. The proodures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required
in an audtt, and consequendy no opinion is grven as to whether the aecounts present a 'trLte and fai
ew anli the report is limrted to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examlneffs statsment
In connection wrth my examination. no material mattef5 have ¢Jxne to my attention which gNes me
cause to believe that in, any material respect
the acuunting records were not kept in accordan￿ *ryth sectb)n 130 of the Chari￿s Act.. or
Ihe accounts dpj not a¢cord with the acuunling records", or
the aw)unts dbj not compty with the applicable wuirements (x)nceming the fom) and c4Jntent of accounts
set out in the CharitÈs (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requI￿rne￿t Ihat the accounts
gp4e a Irue and fa* view which is not a matter consthred as part of an widopendent examinauor..
I have come across no other matter5 in ￿nnect￿M wrth the examination to which attention should be
rawn in this report in ordèr to enable a proper under5tsnding of the atxounts to be reached.
