INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF RIDLEY HALL EVANGELICAL CHURCH

I report on the accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 4-6.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

The church's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 44(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under
section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

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 (other than those disclosed below) which give me cause to believe that, in any material respect

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of
accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Disclosure

I was appointed to act for the charity on 11 March 2026. The accounts do not comply with the 2011 Act (section 163 (1)) in being prepared excessively late. Furthermore, owing to the delay in the accounts being prepared, only one of the present trustees was a trustee during the year under review. The accounting records for the year were maintained by a trustee, the then pastor, who is no longer involved with the church. It appears that there was insufficient oversight of his work in maintaining the records. A small number of recording errors were identified, which have been corrected. There is no evidence of deliberate misstatement of the records.

I have no other 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.
