## Independent Examiner’s Report 

**Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Ryedale Youth Theatre** 

| report on the accounts of Ryedale Youth Theatre for the year ended 30 June 2024. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. | have carried out an independent examination of the accounts in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination was conducted in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission under that section. 

An independent examination includes a reviewof 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 such matters. 

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently| do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## Independent examiner’s statement 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

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