Recognltlon of Income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
OXFORD CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIErY
I report on the accounts of Oxford Chamber Music Society for the year ended 31 July 2024
as set out on pages 5 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The
chariws trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of
the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Acv) and that an independent examination is needed.
It Is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnerfs ststement
My examinatlon was carried out in accordance with general Directlons glven by the Charlty
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charlty 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 the 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
'true and falrf vlew and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connettion 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 record5 in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act- and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record5 and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Charities Act
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.
