LITTLE WENLOCK VILLAGE HALL & PLAYING FIELD COMMITTEE
Registered Charity No 1080317
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts of Little Wenlock Village Hall & Playing Field Committee for the year ending 31[st] December 2021, which are set out herewith.
This report is made solely for the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work and for this report.
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 Examiner’s report is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s 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 with 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 matter. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be 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:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
Proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
Accounts are prepared which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Dear Brian,
RE: LITTLE WENLOCK VILLAGE HALL & PLAYING FIELD COMMITTEE – INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31/12/2021
I can confirm that I have acted independently and carried out the above examination of the attached accounts and presented documentation. The tests as described below support my opinion that the slightly amended accounts accurately reflect the charity’s accounting activities.
Tests included verifying balances per the Income & Expenditure Account to the General Ledger and tracing a sample of transactions from the General Ledger to source documentation and the bank account. Similarly a sample of banking transactions have been traced to the General Ledger. These have supported the accuracy of the system in place. Control total checks have also been carried out.
Again it has not been a normal year due to the coronavirus and comparison between both years is not possible. Covid support grants received this year totalled £20,369. Capital grants received of £18,441 related to the Air Source Heating System installation do not appear in the Income & Expenditure Account as it was capital spent on the air pump.
The Community Energy Fund grant balance of £1,000 no longer appears on the Balance Sheet as a liability as the grant was utilised with the installation of the air source heat pump.
I have attached a formal Independent Examiners Report for filing with the accounts to the Charity Commission; once the accounts have been signed by yourself as Treasurer and presented to the Committee and formally approved.
Yours sincerely,
Sue Hackett
