Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
The Connors Toy Libraries
I report on the accounts of the Connors Toy Libraries for the year ended 31 st March 2023 which are set out
on pages attached.
Respectlve responslbllltles of trustees and examlner
As th8 charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts., you ¢onsider that the audit
requirement of section 43{2) of the Charities Act 1993 (The Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to
slate, on the basis of procedures specified in the general directions given the Charity commissioners under
section 43(71 ofthe Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnetrs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general direction given by the charity
commissioners. An examination includes a review of the a¢¢ounting 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 you as twstees concerning any such
matt8rs. The proGedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequentiy I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examlnefs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement
To keep accounting records in accordance ￿￿th section 41 of the Act: and
To prepare accounts which accord wtth the accounting records and to comply wlth
accounting requirements of the Act
Have nol 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.
