## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES OF BARN HILL CONSERVATION GROUP** 

I report on the accounts of the charity Barn Hill Conservation Group (registered number 1085476) for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## _Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner_ 

The charity’s directors/trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.   The charity’s directors/trustees consider both that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act), 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 2011); and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## _Basis of the 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 the directors/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 ‘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 to indicate that: 

- Accounting records have not been kept in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies act 2006. 

- The accounts do not accord with such records 

- Where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with the relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 or are not consistent with the charities SORP (FRS102). 

- Which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
