PENN FREE METHODIST CHURCH

Independent examinerfs report to the trustees of Penn Free Methodist Church
("the charitv,, Number 1138169)
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 as set out on pages l and 2.
Respertive responsibilltles of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charitvs trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the
Charities ACV,) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examinerfs statement
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 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 Vie￿ and the
report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
