I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or - - the accounts do not accord with the accounting records In carrying out my examination, I noted an instance when evidence was missing to support one of the fundraising events receipts under the Fundraising account. The bank pay-in slip for the Winter fair fundraising could not be provided so the receipt amount of £4,351 in the bank statement could not be substantiated. This balance was however included in the Fundraising account and could be separately identified in the accounting records. You confirmed that processes are more robust now and you are now keeping all bank paying in slips on file. You provided an example of a paying in slip for the summer fair fundraising which could corroborate the amount in the accounting records. I confirm there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Signed:** Lorena Gabi **Date:** 17/10/2024 **Name:** Lorena Gabi 1 **IER 2018** **October** **Relevant professional** ICAEW Chartered Accountant (BFP ACA) **qualification(s) or body (if any):** **Address:** 114 Fernbrook Road SE13 5NH London, UK ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . 2 **IER 2018** **October**
