## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Friends of Wimbledon Chase Primary School**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Friends of Wimbledon Chase Primary School (‘The Friends’) for the year ended 31 August 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of The Friends, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of The Friends accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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:
1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. The accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matter 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.
