TRUSTEES. RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees. Report and the financial statements
in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom
Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are
satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its net
incoming/outgoing r¢50urces for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the
Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial ststements.
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to
show and explain the charity, s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time
the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Charities Act 201 l. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud
and other irregularities.

PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF HOLY TRINITY CHURCH BOSTON
Independent Examiner's Report to the Parochial Church Council of Holy Trlnity Church. Boston
I report on the accounts of the ccffipany for the year ended 31st December 2024 which are set out on
page 8 to 20.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the
2011 Act) and that an independent examination is n&ded.
It is my responsibilty to=
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charty Commission under
section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attenb'on.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance wtth the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by ihe charity and a
comparison ofthe accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees conceming any
such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an
audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view"
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examinevs statement
