18/04/2025| 28 **/** 05 **/** 2025 CCXX R2 accounts SS **( )** 2 Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees/ members of Wembley Family Church with a registered address of 115 Preston Hill Harrow Middlesex. I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2024 which are set out on the page. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The trustees of Wembley Family Church have concluded that an audit is not necessary this year, pursuant to section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993. Instead, they have determined that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act) To adhere to the procedures specified by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act) and report any notable issues that arise. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** My examination was conducted in accordance with the General directions 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 entails examining any unusual items and disclosures in the accounts and requesting clarifications from you as trustees regarding such matters. The procedures conducted do not produce evidence necessary for an audit, therefore no opinion is given regarding whether the accounts present a "true and fair" view. The report is confined to the matters specified in the following statement. ## **During my examination, no matter has come to my attention** - **1)** which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to (a) maintain accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and (b) prepare accounts that comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or - **2)** to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached **Verified by: ___________________** Keadian Walters (FCCA) **Date:** 27 May 2025
