Independent examiner's report to The Gibberd Garden Trust.

I report on the accounts of the trust for the period ended 31[st] March 2021, which are set out on pages 3 to 5.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of s43 (2) of the Charity's Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under s43 (7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the seeking of 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 an audit opinion on the view given by the 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:

  2. a. to keep accounting records in accordance with s41 of the Act; and

  3. b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act

have not been met; or

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

Sculptures

This contains in the brought forward balance the cost of the piece "Table Carved Wood 1970- 73" by the artist Fred Watson. This item was donated to the Gibberd Garden Trust on a long-term loan basis.

As the Gibberd Garden will insure and maintain we have continued to treat the asset as being owned in the accounts.
