In preparing these financial statements the Text Switch is required to:

Independent examiner’s report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

I have examined the accounts of Somali Education Development Centre on pages 5 and 6, for the year ended 31[st] March 2021, which have been prepared on the basis of receipts and payments.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section (43)(3)(a) of the Act, and to state whether matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

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 you as a trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
