Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the North Tendring
Christian Initiatives CIO
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st August 2024, which are set out on
pages 8 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the independent examiner
The charity's trustees 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 of the Charities
Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directlons 8lven by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent examlnerfs statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
Charity and a comparison of the account5 presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from the 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 fairf view and the report is limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.
Independent examlnerfs statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention whlch
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect-
accountlng records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act
or
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the account5 to be reached.
