I report on the accounts of the Brough Pre~School Nursery for the year ended 31 August 2024
which comprise the preceding pages, namely a receipts and payments account and statement of c3sh, bank
and Savings balances.
This report is made solely to the trustee5 in accordance LAnder Section 144 of the Charitie5 Att 2011 (the
Charities Act). My work has been undertaken so that I might State to the charity's tru5tee5 those matters l am
required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law. I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charitvs
trustees for my examination work.
Respectlve respon$ibillties of Trustees and Examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audlt is not required
for this year under section 144 of the Charitie5 Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed,
It Is my responsibllity to.,
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
{under section 145 (51 Ib} of the Charities Act, and
To 5t3te whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity CoTnmissioner.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of any
unusual items or dlsclosures 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 audft,
and consequently no opin5on is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fail, view and the report
is limited to those maters set out on the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Charities Act; and
to prepare account5 which accord with the accounting records and comply wlth the
accountlng requirements of the Charitles 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,
