## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NUBIAN LIFE RESOURCE CENTRE**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 10-16
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER**
For the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
The Charity gross income exceeded £250,000 and I'm qualified to undertake the examination by being qualified member of Institute of Financial Accountants
## **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:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charity Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NUBIAN LIFE RESOURCE CENTRE**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 10-16
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER**
For the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
The Charity gross income exceeded £250,000 and I'm qualified to undertake the examination by being qualified member of Institute of Financial Accountants
## **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:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charity Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 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.
