This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31* D￿mber 2025 is in respect of
an examination (xrried out under Regulation 3 (3) of the Church AcLounting Regulations 2011
and section 43 of the Charities Act 2011.
As the members of the PCC you are resp(Thible for preparation of the accLwnts; you consider
that the audit requirement of Regulation 3 (3) of the Church A￿)Unting Regulations 2011 and
Section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 do nol appty.
My examination was carrted out in accx)rdance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission under Section 43 {7)(b) of the Act and lo be found in the guidance from the C.B.F.
That examlnation indLxJes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of
the accounts with those records. It also includes considerirrfJ any unusual items or disclosures in the
accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees cx)nceming any such matters. Th8
Proceduros 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 a¢counting records and to compty with the requirements of
the Act have not been m8t; or
to whlch, in my opinron, attention should be drawn in Ixder to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.
