## _**Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Our Lady of Ransom Pre School**_
_I report on the Accounts of the Trust for the year ending 31[st] August 2023 which are set out on pages 6 and 7._
## _**Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner.**_
_As explained more fully in the Trustees Responsibilities Statement on page 3 the trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008) (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities). The Trustees consider that an Audit is not required under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 but an Independent Examination is needed._
_It is my responsibility to:_
- _1) Examine the accounts (under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011)_
- _2) Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners._
- _3) State whether particular matters have come to my attention._
## _**Basis of independent examiner’s report**_
_My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the views given by the accounts._
## _**Opinion on financial statements**_
_In my opinion the financial statements:_
- _1) Give a true and fair view of the Charity’s affairs as at 31[st] August 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended._
- _2) Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (applicable to smaller Entities)._
- _3) Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011_
## _**Matters on which I am required to report by exception**_
4
_I have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in my opinion:_
- _1) the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements: or_
- _2) sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or_
- _3) the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or_
- _4) I have not received all the information and explanations I require for my examination._
