INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
SILVERBIRCH DANCE COMPANY LIMITED
I report on the accounts for the year ended 5[th] April 2025 set out on pages three and four which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies on page five.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
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 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
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, seeking explanations from the Board of 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 these accounts.
Independent Examiners Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me a reasonable cause to believe that in any material aspects the requirements to keep the accounting records in accordance with the Charities Commission Guidance and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
