INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
KEREM SHLOIME LTD
I report on the accounts of the Charitable Company for the year ended 31 October 2023 which are set out on pages 7-8.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purpose of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity is required by law to prepare accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants (England & Wales).
Having been satisfied that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
-
(i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) of the 2011 Act; and
-
(iii) 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 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide 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 fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met; or
-
(b) to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
