Independent examiner's report to the trustees of C & G Fund Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2025.

the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
