Independent Examlner's Report to the Trustees otThe League of Frlends of Tavlstock
Hospital
Year ended 31 March 2025
Respectlve respon8ibilities ottrustees and examiner
As the ch8rity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider
that the audit requirement of section 144(21 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) does not
8ppIy.
It is my responsibilityto:
Examine the 8ccounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act"
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioner under section 145(5){b) of the 2011 Act. and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Indepandent examlner's report
My examination was carried out in 8ccordance with the General Directlons given by the Charity
Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the 8ccounting records kept by the charlty
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records, It also includes consideration
of any unusu81 items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking exp18nations from you as
trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence
that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinlon is given as to whether the
accounts present a "true end fair view" and the report is Ilmited 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:
1. Which gives me reason8ble c8use to believe that in any material respect the
requirements
To keep accounting records in accord8nce with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
b. To prepare 8ccounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply
with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
