Independent Examiner’s Report

To the Trustees of St. Matthew’s Pre-School, Redhill (Charity No: 102954)

| report on the accounts for the year ended 31% August 2025 which are set out in the Financial Statements attached.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner

The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

® Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
® Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners Section 145 (5) of the 2011 Act;
® State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General 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 management committee concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

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 ® to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; or @ to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
