Dear Management Committee,
## Fanshawe Community Association
I have pleasure enclosing your independently examined accounts.
These accounts include some winding down costs of the charity, following closure on 28[th] July 2025.
The charity is still pursuing payment from outstanding debtors before the remaining funds can be distributed.
A final statement of distribution of the charity's assets will be produced as soon as debtors have paid.
Thank you to Lin for maintaining the books and records to a high standard.
Yours sincerely,
Chris Zielinski

## **STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMMITTEE**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the charity's incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements you are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. You are also responsible for safeguarding the assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FANSHAWE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] DECEMBER 2025**
I report on the financial statements of the Association for the year ended 31[st] December 2025, which are set out on pages 3 to 5.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees consider than an audit is not required for this year -under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011- and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011).
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission -under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011-.
- State whether 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 seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any 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 audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
During my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011); and
- Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011; or
- To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
