Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of: The United Church of St Paul's Balsall Heath (Anglican and URC) Also known as Balsall Heath Church Centre
I report on the accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out in the following pa g es.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As trustees of the Charity, the members of the PCC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to;
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act:
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.
That 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 item or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Management Committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
*to keep accounting records in accordance with section s130 of the 2011 Act: or
-
*to prepare accounts which accord with these account i ng records; have not been met; or ( 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
