The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statement and for being satisfied with the information presented in the accounts The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not require under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts together with information and explanations made available to me under section 145 of Charities Act 2011 In accordance with the charities act. I have reviewed the accounting records kept by the church and have had access to all information and received all necessary explanations from the trustees in carrying out the examination.
To the best of my judgement as an independent examiner, no matter has come to my attention during the examination to give cause for concern that proper books of accounts were not kept, or accounting requirements were not complied with in the preparation of the accounts.
