FRESHFORD SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION Independent Examiner's Report For The Year Ended 31 August 2022
This report on the accounts of Freshford School Parent Teacher Association for the year ended 31 August 2022, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with S.43 of the Charities Act 1993 ("The Act").
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner
As Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and section 43(2) of the Act do not apply. It is my duty to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations.
Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7) (B) of the Act. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Trustees and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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.
Independent Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.
