## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Fulwood Trust Fund (Charity No. 1060340)** 

I report on the financial statements of the Fulwood Trust Fund (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 30 September 2024. The report is made solely to the trustees of the Charity, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in the independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and its trustees, as a body, for my work, for this report or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to 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 comparison of the financial statements with the accounting records kept by the Charity. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking 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 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 statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

(i) 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 2011: and 

- to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 

have not been met; or 

(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
