Independent Examiner's Report to tbe Trustees of St Paul's Sinfonia
I report on the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2024 as set out on
pages 6 to 11.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body. in accordance with the section 145 of
the Charitles Act 201 l. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees
those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility lo anyone other than the charity and
the charity's trustees as a body, for my work, for this reporL or for the opinions I have fornied.
Respective responsibilities of irustees and examiner
The charity's truste¢s (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law)
are responsible for the preparation of financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not
required for this year under Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the .201 l Act,) and that an
independent exam ination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5) of the 2011 Act- and
state where 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
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of
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 no opinion is given &s to whether the financial
statements present a 'true and fair view, and the retK)rt is limited to those matters as set out in the
statement below.

Independent examiner's stalement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
l )which gives me reasonable cause to b¢liev¢ that in any material respect the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to prepare financial ststements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and
principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities;
hav¢ not been met" or
2)lo which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
financial statements to be reached.
