THE SOCIETY FOR EDUCATION IN ANAESTHESIA (UK)
Independent Examiners report for the year ended 31 December 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for
year ending 31 December 2023 as set out on pages 7 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act"). The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the
Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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:
l. 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 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records 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.
