During the year, through the generosity of its donors/patrons, AHDT

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1ST APRIL 2023 TO 31ST MARCH 2024**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which are set out on pages **3 to 6** .
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- i. Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Act.
- ii. Follow the procedures laid down in the general directives given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- iii. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directives 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 disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanation 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the account.
## **Independent Examiner’s Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
- b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 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.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024**
## **1. Statement of Management Committee Responsibilities**
The management committee is required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the AHDT and of the Income and Expenditure of the AHDT for the period. In preparing those financial statements the management committee are required to:
- a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

The management committee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the AHDT and enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with regulatory requirements. They are also responsible for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **2. Basis of Accounting**
The accounts are prepared on a basis consistent with that of previous years. A receipt and payment basis is used under the historical cost convention subject to provision made for sundry debtors and accruals of expenditure relating to the year.
