INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GREAT PONTON VILLACE CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
I report on the accounts of the charity
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(3)(a) of the Charities Act 1993 (The 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:-
-
i) Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act);
-
ii) Follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)9b of the 1993 Act); and
-
iii) 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 the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act) and
-
Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirement of the 1993 Act.
Or
- To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Signed: Ian Stokes
Independent Examiner: Ian Stokes F.C.P.A. Date 5/10/23
