## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

## **Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

> **Report to the trustees** Exeter Dissenters’ Graveyard Trust 

> **On accounts for the year** 31 January 2024 **Charity no** 1159449 **ended (if any)** 

> **Set out on pages** 1-27 (remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 / 01 / 2024. 

> **Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the 

> **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

 

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.

|**(i)   Explain the nature and scale of**<br>**heritage assets held.**<br>**(ii)   Explain the policy for the**<br>**acquisition, preservation,**<br>**management and disposal of heritage**<br>**assets.**|<br>Since 1888 the graveyard has been neglected, with a succession of owners planning to<br>develop the site into housing and as a small car park.  In 2012, a consortium of heritage<br>groups was formed to acquire the site from a local developer.  The plan was to<br>undertake restorative work to the retaining and boundary walls, to the monuments and to<br>the general site as a historic designed landscape.  Funds were raised to acquire the site<br>and a significant amount of funding was secured from many sources, but principally from<br>the National Lottery Heritage Fund.  All the conservation work was carried out under<br>professional supervision and the site continues to be improved for public benefit.  A<br>Board of Trustees was formed and they manage the site with the assistance of a<br>dedicated group of volunteers.  There is no plan to dispose of the site but the process for<br>disposal is included in the governing CIO model constitution.<br>**This year**<br>**Last year**<br>The Trust owns the freehold of the graveyard which is a site of historic significance, as<br>designated by Exeter City Council, lying in the Southernhay and The Friars Conservation<br>Area close to the Roman wall and to two other non-Anglican burial grounds.  The<br>graveyard opened in 1748 and closed in 1854.  Many of the 1500+ people buried in the<br>graveyard were merchants and professionals who contributed to the wealth of Georgian<br>and early Victorian Exeter.  The significance of the graveyard as a heritage asset is<br>recognised by Historic England, Devon Gardens Trust, Exeter Historic Buildings Trust<br>and the Heritage Lottery Fund.|
