Lordshill C ommunity Association CIO 

## I **ndependent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lordshill Community Association CIO** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 examiner's statement – matters of concern identified 

I have completed my examination. I have identified matters of concern that give me reasonable cause to believe that: 

1. accounting records were not fully kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; and 

2. the accounts do not accord with all those records. 

The receipts and payments accounts prepared for the charity show a cash balance of £54,502.10 

. The receipts and payments accounts show cash received in the year of £54,502.10 with no serious concerns to report. 

The receipts and payments accounts show cash payments made in the year of £59,667.04. However, not all records were 

kept by the previous trustees. 

Payments totalling £995 were made to a trustee during the year. No information could be provided to support this expenditure. 

By the date of our report, this individual is no longer a trustee. 

I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the 

accounts to be reached. 

Mr J Cox AQA 20 pennine road southampton SO164QJ
