INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF ST THOMAS. STOURBRIDGE
FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 202S
I report to the charity Trustees I'the PCC Membèrs'l on my examination ofthe Receipts and
Payments Ststement, Assets and Liabilities Statement and Treasu￿r'S Report, together
rereferre(I to 8s'the accounts., of the charity Ilhe PCC'I for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Raspèctive Responsibilities of PCC Members and Examiner
The PCC Members of The Paro¢hial Church Council of St Thomas. Stourbridge are responsible
lor the preparation of the accounts for the period ended 37 December 2025 in accordance with
the Charf(ies Act 2022.
Ay the PCC Mèmbers have opted to prepare receipts and payments accounts. I have been
appointed as an independent examiner lo review these accoutts under the tem7s of Charities Act
2022. My responsibil.ty is to..
Examine the accounts and consider whether they are consistent with the records kept by
the PCC.
Review whether the accounts comply with the applicable regulations.
Assess whether any matters have come to my attention that require furthef explanation
or clarification.
Basls of Independent Examiner's Statement
I have carried out my examination in ac¢ordan¢e with the gutdance prOV￿ed by the Charty
Commission for England and Wales. My examination included a review ofthe accounting records
maintained by the PCC and a comparison ofthe accounts presented with those records. It also
involved considering any unusual iterns or disclosures within the accounts.
The nature of an indèpendent examination is substantially less detailed than a full audit.
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a Iwe and fair
view. but instead provide an independent report on whethèr any matèrial issues have come to my
attention.
Indèpendgnt Examiner's Stst6ment
In the course of my examination, no matters have come to my attention that give me ¢ause to
believe that..
1. Proper ac¢ounting records have not been kept in accordance with the requiremen15 of
the Charities Act 2022.
2. The accounts do not agree with the underfying records.
3. There are material con¢ems that should be drawn to the attention of the PCC Members
or the Charity Commission.
I confimi that, in my opinion, the accounls have been prepared in accordance with the applicable
requirement5 and provide an accuiato reflection ofthe recwpts an¢J payments made during the
peri¢)d.
