Anuual report and financial statments for the year ended 31 March 2025
## **Independent examiner's report to the Directors of Spotland Community Association**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on page 10 - 12.
## **Respective responsibilities of directors and examiner**
The Trustees ( directors ) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees ( directors ) consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charties Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for an independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 144 of the 2011 Act
- To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under sectiom 145(5) of the 2011 Act; and
- •To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance to the General Direction set by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. The examination also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, in addition to seeking explanations from you as directors in regard to such matters. These procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statment**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to belive that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
