INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BARNSLEY THEATRE TRUST (1998) LIMITED
We report on the accounts of Bamsley Theatre Trust (1998) Limited for the year ended 30 September 2024
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 sections 144 and 145 of the Charities Act 2011
(the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to..
examine the accounts (under section 145{3) of the 2011 Act).
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145{5} of the 2011 Act., and
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
Our examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
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 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention..
(1)
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordan￿ with section 130 and 131 of the 2011 Act" and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met,. or
(2)
to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.
