Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of First Steps Community Playgroup
For the year ended 31[st] August 2020
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the independent examiner
I have examined the accounts as set out on the ensuing pages.
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for his year under section 43(2) of the Charities and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfying myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7) of the 1993 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s 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 charity and a comparison of the accounts presented from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and it is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In conjunction with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to prepare accounts with the methods and principle of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
Have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable understanding of the accounts to be reached.
