Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Page Park Playgroup
We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2025, which are set out on page 5.
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 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.
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.
