INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT YEAR ENDED 30TH NOVEMBER 2024
TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF WIGAN ROAD EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY CENTRE
I have examined the financial statements for the year ended 30th November 2024 as set out on the annexed pages which have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out below:
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent 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 this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income does not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for an independent examination; it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
-
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011, 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 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 provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts 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 our examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
-
requirements of the Charities Act 2011 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.
