Chair's Statement I Welcome to this year's Annual Report It is a real privilege for me to continue working with members of our community for the betterment of our children, young people and their families.

KONGOLESE CHILDREN'S ASSOCIATION Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Kongolese Children's Association I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st March 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 11. Respective responsibilities 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 prOdureS laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act- and to state whether particular matters have come to my attenb'on. Basis of 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 you as 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.. (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. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and cornply 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.
