Kni hton and District Communl Su Inde endent Examinerfs Re For the ear ended 31 March 2024 Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Knighton and District Community Support Project I report to the charity trustee5 on my examination of the accounts of Knighton and District Community Support Project for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 9, Respectlve responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's 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 responsi bility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charlty Commission under section 14515)I bl of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's statement My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directlons given by the Charity 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 account5, 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 examlner'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; or the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which Is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 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. Page 5
