INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE REGAL FILM
SOCIETY
I report on the accounts of the Society for the year ended 31 August 2022 which are set out on
pages 4 to 5.
Respective responsibilitses of trustea and eiamiDer
The trustees are re5wnsible for the preparntion of the acwunts. The trustees consider that an audit is
not required for this year under section 14412) of th¢ Cl)arfftties Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my resw)nsibility to:
examine the accounts under s¢dion 145 of the 2011 ACL
follow the procedures laid down in the General DirectiODS given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My cxamination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Con]mission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
compaTison of the accounts present¢d with those records. It also includes Consid￿atIOn of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you &8 trustces
concerning any such n￿tter5. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would
bc required in an audit and consequcntly no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a
'true and fair vicw, and the re￿rt is limited to those matteTS set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In comiection with my examinatio￿ no matler has come to my attention:
(i)
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of thc 2011 Act. and
to prq)are accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with th¢
counting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met. or
(2)
to which. in my opinion. attention should be dTav4n in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reach￿.
