Independent Examination Report
I report on the accounts of Ringwood Junior School PTA for the year ended 31st August 2025
Ringwood Junior School PTA’s gross income has exceeded £25,000 and therefore an independent examination of the accounts is required.
1, Tanya Kosinski, have independently examined the accounts of the Association for the Charity Commission Annual Returns.
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 year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under s145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under s145(5)(b) and
-
to 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 Directives given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and the 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection 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
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the Act: and
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
