Independent Examiner's Reporttothe Trusteesof
Mad Theatre Company
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Mad Theatre Company ('the  Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for
the year ended 30 September 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of
company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited
under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report
in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section
145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have
followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of
the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my  attention
in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the
examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted
