INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MAGMA POETRY CHARITABLE COMPANY

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out pages 4 to 6.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are resp for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent exami is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• 1 examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

• 2 to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissio under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

• 3 to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity an comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unu items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concern any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be requir an audit and, consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair v and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to our attention:

• 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

• a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, a

• b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, 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.
