2024 which are set out on pages 9 - 17.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and reportlng accountants
The Board Members, who are also the directors of Soper Hall Community Centre
Limited, for the purposes of company law. are responsible for the preparation of the

section 14412) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent Examination is
needed.

15 eligible for independent examination. it Is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act,.
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission under section 145(51 of the 201 l Act,. and
to State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 presentcd with those records. It also
includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all of the evidence that would be rcquired in an audit and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair
view. and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
