## **Independent Examiner’s report**
I report on the accounts for the Chipstead Pre-School Playgroup for the year ended 31[st] August 2024 which are set out on page 1.
Charity number 1055601
## **Respective responsibilities of trustee and independent examiner**
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners in section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
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 presented with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the management committee 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 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
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met: or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
