We have no comments to make concerning the qualitative aspects of the entity's accounting practices and financial reporting. 2. We did not encounter any significant difficulties during the examination and there are no significant findings from the independent examination. 3. A draft of our proposed letter of representation is attached. In other respects the letter is routine. 4. As you are aware from our letter of engagement, our independent examination procedures were directed towards testing the accounting systems in operation upon which we have based our assessment of the accounts. An appendix to this letter contains details of actual and potential weaknesses identified during the course of our examination and our recommendations for improvements. It is not meant to be a full and accurate reflection of all weaknesses that may be present in your system. 5. In making our recommendations, we have considered the size of your Trust and the number of staff you employ. We shall be glad if you will let us know what steps have been taken in connection with the above. 6. We do not propose any modifications to our independent examination with respect to this however our independent examination report will comment specifically on your material uncertainties in respect of going concern. 7. We have discussed with you the fact that we provide accounting services to the Trust in addition to acting as independent examination. We wish to confirm to you that in our opinion the provision of such services do not affect our independence as: - (a) the additional services provided are of a routine compliance nature and the Board takes any decisions where judgement is required, and - (b) the firm’s quality control procedures provide adequate safeguards in respect of the involvement of any senior management / professional staff. The firm and the independent examination engagement team have therefore complied with relevant ethical requirements concerning independence. We would like to take this opportunity of expressing our thanks to your staff for their assistance during the course of our independent examination. Please note that this report has been prepared for the sole use of Abdul Bari Shahidunnessa Academy And Community Development Project. It must not be disclosed to third parties, quoted or referred to, without our prior written consent. No responsibility is assumed by us to any other person. The purpose of the independent examination was to enable us to express an opinion on the financial statements. The independent examination included consideration of internal control relevant to the preparation of the financial statements in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control. The matters reported above are limited to those deficiencies that the independent examiner has identified during the independent examination and that the examiner has concluded are of sufficient importance to merit being reported to those charged with governance. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Mr Rakesh Dua. ## Yours faithfully ## **DUA Accountancy & Business Consultancy** Abdul Bari Shahidunnessa Academy And Community Development Project _**Letter of Comment – appendix of weaknesses**_ ||**Current**
