Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts

Report to the Trustees of Cleveland Philharmonic Choir Music Society (Registered Charity number 1039092) on the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2022 (attached)

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirements of s.144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) do not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under s.145 of the Act, 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 Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts 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 view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the Act
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act

have not been met, or to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
