Independent Examinevs Report to the Trustees of
The Company of Four Musical Theatre Society
I report on the accounts of the Society for the year ended 30 June 2024 which are set out on
pages 1 to 3.
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(2) of
the Charities Act 2011 {the 2011 Act), and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the
Charity Commission under section 145{5) {b) of the 2011 Act and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinefs report
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 wtth 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 Irue and fairf view and the report is limited
to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act',and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting r￿ordS and comply
with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act"
have not been met: or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be dravm in ￿der to enable a proper
understanding of the accounls to be reached.

from the Chair
We feel it has been another successful and progressive year for the Company.
Last October, we staged Little Shop of Horrors at Seckford theatre. Good audien
numbers and a fine production well received.
Our annual panto in February was Jack and the Beanstalk wtth great props, a giant
inflatable beanstalk and an enthralling giant costume that drew great reaction from
the audience including the children who were in awe.
The summer saw our second recent exclusively under 18s shows: 'Spongebob the
Musical - Youth,. This was another opportunty for our very talented youngsters to
make the show their own, and they ￿rtainlY did. Our membership of youngsters
continues to grow and show promise for the fvture.
We are now heading into yet another show this autumn, The Railway Children, which
will test our staging and presentation skills. Public interest feels good, and we look
for another great production all round.
We continue to organise social events to keep the inclusivity feel in the group.
At this point we are shortly due to vacate our workshop hut as our lease is not being
renewed. We have had costs in the year for vacating our old hut and on the new
accommodation, mainly for storage purposes. We feel for now we are settled with
our accommodation situation and plans to maximise and utilise the costumes and
props for hire as well as other revenue streams are being examined.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our members and friends for their continued
support, the committee for their enthusiasm and fundraising.
