Section B
 Disclosure
Give here brief details of
any items that the
examiner wishes to
disclose.		 Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32,
Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for
examiners).
Respective responsibilities of the Committee and the examiner.
As members of the Committee you are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial
statements in accordance with the terms of the regulations.
Basis of the report.
My examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
committee and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also
includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial
statements 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 I do not express a view given by
these accounts.
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 have been overlooked.
(2) . To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
My Comments
The accounts were double entry and mainly on a ‘cash in/cash out’ basis using
a computer software program by Excel.
There has been little turnover during the last year except for the receipt of
legacies from the late David Morgan’s estate for £34,000 and £10,500. The
sum of £1377.30 was received after 31st March; shown but to be included in the
figures for 2023/2024.
I will not be raising a charge for my report and examination.
