WATLING COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WATLING COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 as set out on pages 1 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purpose of company law) 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 of the Charities Act 2011and that an independent examination is needed.
Having been satisfied that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) of the Charities Act; and * to state 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 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 the seeking of 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 examiners' statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with s386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
I have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
