## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Edmund Waller PTA** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Edmund Waller PTA (charity) for the year ended 30 September 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the PTA, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **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. 

I have no concerns and have come 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. 

**Signed: Name:** Sophie Donnellan 

**Address:** 31 Stondon Park, London. SE23 1LB **Date:** 30 July 2024
