THE EUROPEAN YARCHEI KALLOH
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages 6 to 8.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The
charity's trustees consideT that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charilies Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come lo my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presenied with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations from the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently
no opinion is given a.s to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair. view
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPF.NDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
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
Charities Act. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charilies 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.
