Independent examlner's report to the trustees of Hutton Playgroup
Registered Charlty No: 1089042
I report on the accounts of the Hutton Playgroup for the year ended 31st August 2024.
Respectlve responslblllties 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
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basls of Independent examlner's report
My examinatlon was carried out in accordance wlth 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 con￿mIng 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 lo whether the accounts present a 'true and fair
view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examlner'8 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
(1) 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
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
