Independent Examiner's Report
to the trustees of The House of Fairy Tales
I report to the Iruslees on my examination of the unaudited accounts of tho charitable company for
the year ended 31 December 2023 which are s81 out on pages 8 10 17.
Re5ponslbilities and basi5 of roport
As the Charity trustees of the company {and also its dSreclDrs for the purposes of company lawl you
are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the
Charities Act 20111.the 2011 Act l.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to b8 audited under Part
16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for ind8pendenl examination. I report in respect of my examination
of your companls accounts as carri&d out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 I'the 2011
Acl'l. In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by th& Charity Commission
under section 14515)Ibl of Ihe 2011 Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidenco that would be requlred in an
audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion
on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an
independent examination can provide. Consequently l express no opinion as to whether the
accounts present a 'lrue and fair. view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the
independent examlner's stslemenl.
Independent axaminer's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come lo my attention In connectlon
with the examination giving me cause lo believe that in any material respect..
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act., or
the accounts do not accord with those records., or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requlremenls con¢erning the form and content
of accounts sel out in the Charities {Ac¢ounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any
requirement that the accounts give a 'lrue and fair, view which is not a matter eonsideTed as
part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other mallers in connection wth the examinaliDn lo
which attention should be drawn in this report in order lo enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely lo the Charills trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the
Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has b8en undertaken so that I might
slate to the Charity's trustees those mallers l am required lo slate lo them in an independ8nl
examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest exlenl permitted by law, I do not accept or
assume responsibility lo anyone other than the ChaTilable company and the Charit¥s Iruslees as a
body. for my work or for this r8port.
