1[st] Effingham Scout Group
Charity No. 1064632
The Trustees report that due to Covid 19 it was a year of little activity. In line with other Scout Groups who own their own premises we received Grants which have resulted in the group being in a strong financial position. It is planned that some of this money will be used to make improvements to the hall.
The number of members has remained at pre-pandemic levels although like many groups we would benefit for more leaders. The Group is currently being run with the assistance of the District team.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the 1[ST] EFFINGHAM SCOUT GROUP (Charity No: 1064632)
I report on the accounts of the 1[st] Effingham Scout Group for the year ended 31[ST] March 2021 which comprise the Group Receipt and Payments Account Summary, Account Activity and Notes
This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 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 an 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 the charity’s trustees for my examination work.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Group’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They 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 Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 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. 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:
-
accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
Whilst after speaking to one of the Trustees, there does not appear to be any matters of concern regarding the accounts, I do need to bring to the Trustees attention the fact that limited evidence has been provided/is available, to fully support my examination.
