## **Accounts for 2021** 

## **Prepared for the** 

**Annual Parochial Church Mee9ng Sunday 8th May 2022** 



Independent Examiner's Report
To the PCC of Christ Church, Alsager
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 which are set out on pages.
Respective responslbilitles of the Trustees and Independent Examlner
As trustees of the charity. the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the
accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under sethon 144{21 of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is Deeded.
It is my responsibility to
. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
follow the procedures laid down in the Genernl Direcknons given by the Charity
Commissioners section 14515llbl of the 2011 Art. and
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out 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 includes consideration of any
unusual items or disc105ures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the management
committee concerning any such matter5. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence
that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the
accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connectlon with my examination, no matters have come to my attentlon
l. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounllng record5 in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or
to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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.
