STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
United Kingdom Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity as at the end of the financial year and of th incoming resources and the application of resources of the Trust for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examination of Clare King Charitable Trust (Charity # 1120765) for the Financial Year ending 31 May 2025
Responsibility & Basis of Examination
It is the responsibility of the charity trustees to maintain and prepare the accounts.
The Charity does not have sufficient income or assets to require an audit under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act). The Charity has requested an independent examination under section 145 of the Charities Act, as the income and expenditure for the year is over the £25,000 threshold for this requirement.
This examination has been carried out in accordance with the directions and guidance provided by the Charity Commission. I have examined the accounting records and the underlying records provided by the Charity. The examination checks undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for an audit, and therefore no opinion can be given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and this report is limited to the statement below.
Statement
During the 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 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 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.
Mr Ben Stoehr
