INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN RELIEF FOUNDATION (G.H.R.F) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] AUGUST 2022
(CHARITY NO: 1158288)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of G.H.R.F. (the charity) for the year ended 31[st] August 2022.
Responsibility and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you 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 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is required. I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s account as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
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 present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:-
-
1) Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
2) The financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3) The financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
4) The financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
