## **Meadowlands Pre-School Registered Charity Number 1024742**
## **Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts**
Report to the trustees of Meadowlands Pre-School on the accounts for the period ended 31st August 2024 set out on pages 2 and 3
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In the course of our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
1 - which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- proper accounting records are kept in accordnance with section 130 of the Act; and
- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
2 - to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
