3. These accounts comply with the current statutory requirements and are presented in the format recommended by the Charity Commission. 

4. The AETF year runs to the end of August, to follow the timings of a full year of Festivals. 

## **Fixed Assets**

The returns submitted from the four Areas and their respective First Rounds/Divisions are not inspected.

As ‘subsidiaries’ of AETF under our Charity Number then their income and expenditure must be declared as if it is our own.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
ON THE AETF FINANCIAL STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st AUGUST 2025
Report to the Truste8sIMembers of the All￿ngland Theatre Festival
CHARITY NO: 1071518
Respectfve responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's twslees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under
section 43{21 of the Chanty Act 1993 {the Act), as amended by s.28 of the
Chanties Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed.
It Is my responsibility to-
Examine the accounts (under Section 43 of the Act, as amended);
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by
the Charity Commissioners (under Section 43 (7)(b) of the Act, as
amended)., and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attentson.
Basls of Indepondent Examlnerfs Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions
given by the Charity Commission. An examinalion Includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also Includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanation from the
Tnjstees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would required in an audit. and consequently I do
not express an audit opinion on these accounts.
Independent Examlner's Statement
In connectson with my examinatson. no matter has come to my attention..
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any matenal
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 wth the accountiThJ requirements of the Act.. or
2. to which, in my opinion. attentson should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be ￿3¢hed.
