4TH HESWALL (Sf PETER'S) scovr GROUP
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trnst¢es of the
4th Heswall (St Peter'$) Seout Group
(Charity no 1020985)
I report on the accounts of the Trustees of 4th HeswaIl (St Petefs) Scout Group for the year ended 31 March
2024
Respective responsibilities of trustees and e￿MIner
The Group's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Tn￿teeS consider that an audit
is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) 8nd that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 ACL
- to follow the procedures laÈd down under the General Directions gtven by the Charity Commission
(under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act)
- to stste whether particular matteTS have coroe to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner'5 report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual ifrms
or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the e%idence that would be required in an audiL and
consequendy no opinion is gR￿en as to wthether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is
limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent Examiner's Ststement
In connection with my examinatio￿ no matter has come to my attention".
l. which gives me re&sonable cause to believe that in any rnaterial respect the requirements
& to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act and
b. to prepare accounts ivhich accord with the accounting records and comply witb the accounting
TequiTements of the 2011 Act have not been met" or
2. to whiclL in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
