Independent Examiner's Report Report to the trustees & members of Leamlngton Spa Baptlst Church On accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024. Charity Registration Number: 1134467. Set out on pages 1-13. Respectlve responslbllltles of trustees and examlner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charitys trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to.. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission [under section 145{5}Ibl] of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attentlon. Basls of Independent examlnerfs statement My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions gNen by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and compari50n of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present 'true and fairf view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examIne5 statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect: accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understsnding of the accounts to be reached.
