Independent examinerfs report to the trustees of The Centre for Internatlonal Storytelling
Charity Number 1109510 - Company Number 05264780
st
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Respertlve responslbllltles of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the direttors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible
for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself 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 settion 145 of the 2011 Att.
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Att; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnerfs report
My examination was carrled out In accordance with the 8eneral Directlons given by the Charlty Commlsslon.
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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audlt 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 examlnerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respert the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting
requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and princlples
of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
{2) to which, In my oplnion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understandlng of the
accounts to be reached.
