Independent Examlners Report to The Trustees of Woodhall Farm Community Association
l Teporl on the accounts of Woodhall Farni Community Association for the period ended 31 March 2025
which comprise the income and expenditure account, balance sheet and relaled noles.
This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance wilh Sections 145 of the Charities Act. My work
has been undertaken so that I might stale to ihe charily's trustees those matters l am required io state to

Respective responslbllltles of trustee5 and examlner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparalion of the accounts. The charily's trustees consider
Ihat an audil is nol required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Aci 2011 (the 201 l Act)
and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of ihe Acl;
to follow ihe procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
under seclion 145(5Kb) of the charities Act. and
to stale wheiher particular matlers have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioner. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts pre5¢nted with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanalions from you as trustees concerning any
such matlers. The procedures und¢rtak¢n do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an
audit and. consequently no opinion is give as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and
Ihe report is limited to this malters sel out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements..
(a)
to keep accounting records in accordance wilh section 130 of the charities Act;
and
to prepare account5 whi¢h accord with the accounling records and to comply with
the accounting requirements of the charities Act have noi been met. or
