Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of the
7- EP50M (MEfHODISf) SCOUT GROUP
I report on the accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 3 to 4.
Respertive responsibllities of trustees and examiner
The Group's trustees are responsible forthe preparation of the accounts. They considerthat an audit is not
required for this year (under section 43(21 of the Charities Act 1993, and that an independent examination is
required.
It is my responsibility to-
Examine the accounts (under section 43 (3)1a) of the 1993 act-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given bythe Charity Commissioners under
section 4317llb} of the 1993 act: and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given bythe Charity Commissioners.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept bythe Group and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual iterns or disclosures in the accounts,
and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audtt. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on
the view given in the accounts.

l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 act and
