## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the Wardroom Mess HMS Sultan. Registered Charity No. 1136779.** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Wardroom HMS Sultan for the year ended 31 March 2026. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).  I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination; I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities 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 the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than in any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair” view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no 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.
