INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT to the Trustees of Wooler Evangelical Church
st
st
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period 1 September 2019 to 31 August 2020.
Respective 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 responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
o to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
o to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions 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 accounts, and seeking explanations
from the trustees regarding 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 (other than that
disclosed below"):
*Please delete words in brackets if not applicable.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the
requirements:
o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
