Independent Examiner's Report
to
St John's Centre Charity Limited
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March
2022, which are set out in the accompanying pages.
ective res onsibilities of trustees and examiner
As trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the fIn¥neial

year (UDder section 145(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) aDd that an
independent examination is Deeded.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts (under section 145(IKa) of the 2011 Act).
to follow the procedures laid down in tbe General Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act);
to state whether particular matters have COD)e to my Ydttention
Basis of inde
endent examiner's re
y examjna
ion was carri
ou
In accordance with the ￿lleral Uirections ￿Ven
by the Charity Commisslon. An examination includes a review of tbe accouDting
records kept by the cbarity and a comparison of the aceounts presented with those
records. It also ineludes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the
accounts, and seeking explanations from you as truslees concerning any such
matter& The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit. and eonsequently I do not express an audit opinion on the
vipw uivpn hv thp ￿er￿lInt*.
Inde
endent examiner's statement
In connection witb my examination, no matter has come to my atlention:
(l) which gives me T￿￿on￿ble cause to believe that in any material respect the
to keep accounting records in aecordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act"
and
to prepare accounts whieh accord with the accounting records and comply
with the aeeounting requirements of the 2011 Act;
have not been met. or
{2) to which, in my opinioD, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understandiDg of the aeeounts to be reached.
