FINANCIAL REVIEW AI¥D RESERVES
Hilton Village Hall made an unrestricted deficit of £5,331 for the financial year to 31
March 2024 and at that date the charity had unrestricted reserves of £5,625.
st
It is the considered view of the Trustees/Dir¢ctors that it is necessary and in the best interests of
Hilton Village Hall that a reserve fund is maintained: that is a balance of 'free' unrestricted funds
which have not been committed or designated for a particular project. This reserve fund is
required to enable the organisation, in the short-terni. to maintain ongoing services and enable
financial commitments to be fulfilled.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
HILTON VILLAGE HALL
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on
pages 7 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required
for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is
eligible for independent examination. it is my resp)nsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with g¢ncral 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 explanations from you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provid¢ all the evidence that
would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a "true and falr view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statemcnt
bclow.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my ¢xamination, no matter has come to my attention:
which givcs me reasonable cause to believe that. in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting
requirements of s¢ction 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles
of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have
not been mct; or
to which. in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
