INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF Students and Re STAR (A Company Limited by Guarantee) ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 st March 2025 I report on the accounts of the company for the annual period ended 31 st March 2025, which are set out on pages 2 to 11. Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner. The charty's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination needed. Having satisfied myself that the charty is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination. it is my responsibilty to.. examine the accounts under secb'on 145 of the 2011 Act; . to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charty Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and . to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examinerfs Report My examination was carried out in accordan¢e with the General Directions gNen by the Charty Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charty and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records . It also includes consideration of any unusual rtems or di8¢losures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming such matter8. The procedures undertaken do not prowde all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequenly no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limtted to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent Examiner's Statement In connection wth my examination, no matter has come to my attention.. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements.. (a) to keep accounting records in accordance wrth section 130 of the 2011 Act. and (b) to prepare accounts Nthich accord ryth the accounting records and to comply wth the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
