I report on the accounts of the Pre-School for the year ended 31 August 2023 which are set out on pages 2 and 3.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charities trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirements of section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state. On the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under sec 43 (7) b of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
In connection with my examination.no matters have come to my attention
which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
a to keep accounting records in accordance with sec 41 of the Act; and
-
b to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to 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.
