Independent examiners’ report to the Trustees of Baal Hamoin (Registered Charity Number 1144026)

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 October 2020 which are set out on pages 8 to 10.

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 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity is preparing accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountant (England and Wales).

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 Charity Commission under section 125(5) of the 2011 Act; and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent examiners’ report

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. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of 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 statement below.

Independent examiners’ 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 s. 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
