Mitchell Accounting Ltd
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GREYSTONES PRIMARY SCHOOL HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
I report on the accounts for the year ending 31 July 2024
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
(i) Examine the accounts under Section 43 of the 1993 Act.
-
(ii) To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act; and
-
(iii) To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent examiner’s report
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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
To prepare the accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
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.
