TREASURE'S REPORT (August 2021- July 20221
This financial year was less active than the last financial year after the funding from both The National
Lottery Community Fund and ESFA endin8 by November 2021. This caused our income to drop from
£74658 in mainly restricted funds to £43032 of which 14320 were non-restricted funds, highlighting an
urgent need to apply for and secure more restricted funding for new specific projects to sustain our
service5 to our target 8roup and local community.
We have no deficit issue5 this year, and our account5 are in cohesion with planned expenditure.
We have initiated the submitted of an extension of our Positive Journey project funding from The National
Lottery Community Fund for the next three years to be able to continue to deliver the very important
employability support services to our target group in these difficult times.
Next year, we will again work hard to make sure that fundraising remains a priority and that we succeed in
securing more essential funding.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RWANDESE ABAGIMIGAMBI**
## **ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to;
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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. lt also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 accounts.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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 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 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
