## **Independent examiner's report to the committee members of** 

## **Animal Lifeline** 

## **for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as committee members 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 accounts. 

## **Independent examiner'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 committee members have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

- proper accounting records are kept: and 

- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records 

or 

## **2** 

To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

Signed Dated 29/10/2023 

Mrs Tracy Maddox MAAT
