As in the previous years, we now have a large number of elderly pets and pets with medical conditions. We will continue to care for them to aid their quality of life.

Wages have decreased this year due to more active volunteers, but also some expense was necessary for sub contract workers, who were self-employed individuals, and some were contracted to do the extensive repair work. There are two on-site accommodation units for continuous care staff to cover, twenty-four hours every day.

PET RESCUE WELFARE ASSOCIATION EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PET RESCUE WELFARE ASSOCIATION FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR TO 31ST AUGUST 2021
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2021 which are set out on pages 1 and 2 of the annual accounts.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The 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 Examiner's Report
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 these 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 audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to these matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I n the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
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 the accounting requirements of the 1993 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.
