Independent Examiner's report to the PCC of The Rivers Team {"the Charlty")
I report to the PCC on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December
2022.
Responsibllitles and basis of report
As the PCC of the Charity you are Tesponsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with
the requirements of the Charities Act 20111'the Act'l.
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under sectlon 145 of the
2011 Act and in carryin8 Out my examinatiors I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the
Charity Commission under section 14515llbl of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that t)0 material matters have come to my attention in
connection with the examination givin8 me cause to believe that in any material ￿speCt..
accountin8 records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the
Act,. or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply wsth the applicable requirements concerning the form and
content of actounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2(K)8 other
than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a matter
considered as part of an independent examination.
Your attention is also to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts lfinancial
statements) in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended
Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial
Repo￿ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 in preference to the
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommendeil Practice iSSLsed on l April
2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. We understand
that this has been done Én order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance
with LIK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I note the following matter which I do not deem to be material-
No fund comparison5 have been included the movement in, or breakdown of designated, restrlcted or
endowment funds. Similarly a breakdown by fund of the balance sheet lor balance sheet notes) has
not been intluded. I do not think this missing information, which is technically required by the
ststement of Recommended Practi￿, hinders the understsnding of the users to the accounts.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connettlon with the examination to
which attention should be drawn In this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
