Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees
I report on the accounts of the Seventh Day Church of God (Reformed) Annual Accounts for year ended 31 July 2024
Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. We consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (“the Act”) does not apply. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act);
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity; Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act; and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner Report
The basis of my examination is in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. The examination included review of accounting records maintained by the charity, as well as comparative accounts presented with those records. This also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the account, 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 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act and prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, have not been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
