FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024

HERLINGTON PRE-SCHOOL
INDEPENDENT EXAhllNERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31st March, 2024 which are set
out on pages 3 to 9.
Respective responsibilltles of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(21 of the Charities
Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
11 i¥ I I iy Igsyui Ibiljilily lu.
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(5l(b) of the 2011 Act. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Ba818 of Independent examlner'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 ststement below.
Independent examinor'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
requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the 2011 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 ￿8¢hed.
