The full cost is charged to the accounts at the time of purchase. The accounts on pages 1 and 2 were approved by the Committee of Management on 19 Jun 2024 and signed on its behalf: S Lloyd S R Brown Chairman Treasurer 2 of 2 ## **The Secretary and Trustees** ## **Ribble Valley RSCDS** ## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Ribble Valley RSCDS** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Ribble Valley RSCDS for the year ended 30 April 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of Ribble Valley RSCDS you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
