INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
MERSEYSIDE SOMALI AND COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st
March 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 18.
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the
accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not
required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011
(the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions
given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of
the Charities Act. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the trustees
conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no op:nion 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 statement below.
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

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting
records and comply with the accounting requirements of

certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of
income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies comprise of donations and general grants which are recognised in the
accounts when received. with the excepts'on of known legacies which are accounted for when
their receipt is certain.

receivable, which are recognised on the date on which their unconditional payment is confirmed
by the donor.
