COMMUNITY FIRST SUPPORT NETWORK COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COMMUNITY FIRST SUPPORT NETWORK
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out in these Financial Statements.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of Community First Support Network for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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 needed.
Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company and a comparison of the accounts presented with those 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 those matters set out in the statement below.
This year’s accounts reflect the break from Cleveland Fire Authority which took place in July 2020, when the name change was in effect and the turnover and other figures presented were impacted as can be seen in these Financial Statements.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) To which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met.
-
(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
