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:

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:

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.
