St Michael’s Private School Fund
Trustees Report for the year ended 31[st] August 2024
There has been no change of Trustees this year.
The audited accounts show a deficit during 2023/24 of £18138.45 bringing the total fund to £15236.09. The deficit is due to money held in the account being donated towards the kitchen renovation and update project. Once again there are Parentmail charges are not attributed to a specific group so appear as a deficit, but it is much smaller than previously, implying that most charges are now factored into trip payments.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees
For the Period Ended 31 August 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for period ended 31 August 2024 set out on pages 3 and 4.
Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
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.
Basis of Independent 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 concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion 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.
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 requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanging of the accounts to be reached. Datea: 24 (a6 /2S > LY {
