Independent Examiners Report for the Trustees of
The BSD Charitable Trust
For the Years Ended 31 March 2025
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year end 31 March 2025 which are set out on the pages following.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
As the Charities trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirements of Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) do not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the charity Commissioners under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners 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 seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not require 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
-
a to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
b to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not be 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.
