As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts., you consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 3 (3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 2011 and Section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 do not apply.

That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The Procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 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 requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the act., and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act have not 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.
