Independent Examiner's Report to the PCC of St James's Church, Malden
This report on the financial statements of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2025 is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (the Regulations) and the Charities Act 2011 (the act).
Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the examiner
As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and Section 133 of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Regulations. Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with the Act; and
to prepare financial statements, which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
