INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the Trustees of Charminster Chapel

On accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2025

Respective responsibilities of Diaconate and examiner

The Board of Trustees considers that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act);
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church 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 explanations 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 accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the Diaconate has not met the requirements to ensure that:
a. proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and
b. accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Signed: …… SueW ……….
