## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider t audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that independent examination is needed. ## Mrs J. A. Watson It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 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 state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 2015 church R and P.xls 4 of 5 ".hat an an 2015 church R and P.xls 4of5 ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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. ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below*): - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. _* Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply appropriate_ (3) I have/have not* obtained independent verification of all investments with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes ("TMCP") or held in other Trusts, Bank balances and Funds at the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church ("CFB"), which are individually in excess of £10,000 (ten thousand pounds) at the balance sheet date. _* Please circle as appropriate_ > Name Mrs J.
