The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required under section 114(2) of the Charities Act 2022 (the 2022 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to: - examine the accounts under S145 of the 2022 Act - to follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2022 Act - and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** Our 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 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 examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. Report to the Trustees. I was unable to verify payroll expenditure for 1 September 2022 to 31 March 2023 due to the absence of payroll records for this period. I have completed a review of payroll over the financial year and there does not seem to be any significant variation, and there is no evidence of material misstatement of expenditure. From the 1 April 2023, new payroll procedures were used and are adequate. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - (1) Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or - (2) The accounts do not accord with those records; or - (3) The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
