Churches Together in Bedfordshire
Independent Examiner's statement
st
on the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025
I have exainined the accounts of Churches Together in Bedfordshire for the year
ended 31., December 2025.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which
gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements to keep accounting records have not been met, or to which, in my
opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
