The 200 Club donated £2,000 towards extra CLJrricular activities in 2020121 Northa teHi h School PTAfunds 2020121 I have examined the accounts of the Northgate high School PTA fund together with the supporting documents. In my view the Income and Expenditure Account and Balance Sheet present an accurate picture of the transactions undertaken on behalf of the PTA. l am of the view that the accounts of the 200 Club are an accurate record of the transactions undertaken. Signed.. Name.. Linda Walker Status: Principal Finance Officer Dale.. Septernber 2021 ## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Northgate High School Parent Teacher Association** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Northgate High School Parent Teacher Association (‘the charity’) for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the summary of receipts and payments and the statement of assets and liabilities. This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this 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 charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no audit opinion on the accounts and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: - accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or - the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## Robert Witmore Robert Witmore ACCA 21 June 2022
