Inde
ndent Examiner's Re
ort on the Accounts
Report to the trustees of the Rotary Club of Frome Selwood on the accounts for the
year ending 30 June 2023.
Res
ective res
onsibilities of trustees and examiner.
The Charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under
section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 and that an independent examiner is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts.
Follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Inde
endent examiners statement.
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records
kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with the 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.
Inde
endent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
l) 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 41 of the Act),
Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply
with the accounting requirements of the Act" or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
