Independent examiner's report on the unaudited accounts to Christchurch Wharton

In accordance with instructions given, the accounts have been prepared from the accounting records and explanations presented.

The members of Wharton Parochial Church Council are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and have considered that there is no requirement to perform an audit.

The examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by Wharton Parochial Church Council and a comparison of the accounts with the records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from officers of Wharton Parochial Church Council concerning such matters. The proceedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

The Treasurer has prepared computerised receipts and payments records.

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

1. which gives us reasonable cause to doubt that the accounting records have been kept accordingly and the accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting records and that they comply with the accounting requirements.

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
