Independent Examiner’s Report to Melbourn Community Hub Management Group
I report to the trustees on my examination the accounts of the Melbourn Community Hub Management Group for the year ended 30 September 2025
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities 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 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 a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning 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.
VAT Registration Number 327899347 Deborah Martin Accountant Ltd -. 12045144
Deborah Martin is licensed and regulated by AAT under licence number 4758
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, I can confirm that no matter has come to my attention in connection with the examination
- Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met: or
- To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts reached
Deborah Martin FMAAT
