Respectlve responslbTlltles of trustees and examiner The charity'5 trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(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 commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act to state whether particular matters have come to my attention Basls of Independent examlner's report My examlnation was carried out in accordance wlth the general Dlrections glven by the Charity Commlssion. An examination includes a revlew 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 disc105ures 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 next statement. Independent examlner's statement The trustees have prepared recelpts and payments accounts, and the accounts show cash received in the year 2024 as £47,353. Bank receipt for the period matches the amount. Sufficient records have been kept to trace the donations received and deposited to the bank. The receipt books with cheques are comparable with the bank dep05itS. Invoices or email communication or minutes of the committee meetings evidenced majority of the payment5. Some of the expenditure were made in cash and bank transfers to members against the expense claim form in relation to the events. Cheque payments and bank transfers can be traced back to payment details and nothing unusual has come to my notice. It is advised that all financial information and documents kept during the 2024 financial year are maintained as far as possible in the system during the next financial year. In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting record5 in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requlrements of the 2011 Act have not been met or (2) to whlch, in my oplnion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Name: Address: Date: 814S u*bM* La, H.r
