INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORTTOTHE TRUSTEES OF THE SAUSBURY METHODIST
CHURCH
This Report is on the Church Accounts for the year ended 31 August2025
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible forthe preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 ofthe Charities Act 2011 (the
Charities Actl and that an indeDendent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under Section 145 ofthe Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
to stste whether particular rnatters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examir*r's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Diredions 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 includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees
concerning any such matters. The prO￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audi( and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a Irue and fairf view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
