## **BRIXWORTH VC PRIMARY SCHOOL PTA INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st AUGUST 2025 CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER 1043160** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31st August 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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. 

## **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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act: or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair” view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across not 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.
