Rev Derrick Dunkley Chair ## **APPROVAL** This report was approved by the directors on 28[th] November 2025 and signed on their behalf: ….............................................................................................. Mr Derrick Dunkley, Trustee Page **5** of **11** ## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIVINGWELL COMMUNITY CHURCH LTD** I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 4 – 5 and 7 – 11. ## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** As the Charity’s Independent Examiner to the trustees I am responsible for preparation of the accounts; and consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) 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, - To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act and - To state whether matters have come to my attention ## **Basis of independent examination 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. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation 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 view given by the accounts. ## **Independent examiners’ statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - a. Which give me a 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 - b. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and 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 rot enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the director is required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The director is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. ## **Small Company Rules** This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act and - To state whether matters have come to my attention ## **Basis of independent examination 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. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation 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 view given by the accounts. ## **Independent examiners’ statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - a. Which give me a 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 - b. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and 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 rot enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
