**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MADHEPUR EDUCATION AND WELFARE TRUST**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Madhepur Education and Welfare Trust**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Madhepur Education and Welfare Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31st August 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
