Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of Guisborough Universlty of the Third Age
I report on the accounts of the chartty for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set i)Ut on pages 4 to 6
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity'> Irvstees consider that an
audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 line 2011 Act} and that an
independent examination is ne￿ed.
It is my responsibility to.
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 ACL
follow the procedure5 laid down in the general Difections given by the Charty
145{5}Ibl of the 2011 Act-, and
ommission under section
slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examIne￿S report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by thi: Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of the a￿OUntIng records kept by the charity and a Ci)mparison of the accounts
presented with those records. 11 also includes consideraty.on of any unusual items or disdosures in the accounts,
and seeking explanations from you as trustees Con￿rning any such matters. The protsdures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opiniori is given as lo whether the
accounts present a "tnje and fair vievK and the report is limited to those matters set oul in the statement below.
Independent examiner's ststement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come lo my attention=
which gives me reasonable cause lo believe that, in any material respect, the requirements-.
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 AX" and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and o)mply wilh the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met", or
lo which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts
lo be reached.
