Dear Lei
INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION
Charities with a gross income of £1m or less may choose to have an independent examination in place of an audit unless both their gross assets exceed £3.26m and their gross income exceeds £250,000.
As requested, I have reviewed the accounting records kept by the Parents and Friends Association for the 2023/2024 year and compared the accounts presented with those records.
Please be aware that I have not carried out a professional audit but during my scrutiny of the records, I have not found any material misstatement or omission.
Should you have any queries in relation to the examination performed, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
Signature
Alan Macalister Chartered Management Accountant
