Independent Examiner's Report to the members of Spelthorne U3A K2 on the
accounts for the 12 months ended 31 August 2024
Charity Number 1110936
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.
The charity's trustees 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 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is
needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and to
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out In accordance with 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 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 examlner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention(other than that
disclosed below)
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the
requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with settion 130 of the Charities
Act;
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply
with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met.or
to which. in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached
