KOREAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN LONDON INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

We report on the accounts of Korean Catholic Church In London for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 3 to 7.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you 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 our responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. The 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 you as 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 our examination, no matters have come to our attention:

2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
