Independent Examinerfs Report to The Trustees of
Newick Pre-school
I report on the accounts of Newick Pre School Charity for the year ending 31 December 2024 which
are set out on pages 2 & 3.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charitvs Trustees
consider 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 sertion 145(5){b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matter5 have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examinerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charitv
Commission. 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 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 as to whether the accounts present a
'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me
cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should
be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
