## **KONDANANIUK** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KONDANANIUK** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2023 which are set out in the accompanying Statement of Financial Activity. 

Respective responsibilities 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 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

- -examine the accounts ( under section 43 of the act) 

- -to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the act), and 

- -to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

Basis of independent 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 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 examiners statement 

In the course of my examination no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: -to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the act and -to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with 




- accounting requirements of the 1993 Charities 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.
