To whom it may concern,

Bushfield School Fund Account for the Period from 1‘' September 2022 to 31 August 2023

I have examined the accounting records of the above fund and can confirm that:

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records 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.

I am satisfied that the accounts represent a true and fair view of the fund for the period examined, and confirm that dedicated school funds are not being administered via the fund.

Please find attached a summary of the account to accompany this letter for your records.

Yours Truly
