## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **ST PAUL’S KNIGHTSBRIDGE FESTIVAL CHOIR** 

I report on the accounts of St Paul’s Knightsbridge Festival Choir for the year ended 30 June 2023 which are set out on the foregoing pages. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts: you consider that the audit requirement of s43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the “Act”) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under s43 of the Act and Regulations 31 and 33 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the “Regulations”), whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a view of the accounting records 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 of explanations from you as trustees concerning 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 opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

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

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe in any material respect: 

   - (a) the charity has not kept proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; or 

   - (b) the financial statements do not accord with the accounting records; or 

2. to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
