WALKDEN CHRISTIAN CENTRE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
____________
I report to the trustees/members on my examination of the accounts of Walkden Christian Centre (Charity no 1133892) for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of the report
As the trustees/members of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the club’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the club as required by the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection 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.
