Independent examiner's report on the accounts
Section A Independent Examiner’s Report
Report to the St Marks Preschool Playgroup (Little Explorers Preschool – Cheslyn trustees/ members of Hay)
06-04-2021 Charity 1024003 On accounts for the no (if year ended any) Set out on pages
(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the responsibilities of accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not trustees and examiner required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
●examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
●to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
●to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
-
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general
-
examiner’s statement 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 with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no material matters have examiner's come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any statement material respect:
-
●accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
●the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
- Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
