Signed on Behalf of the Trustees' ## STEVIE ROGERS ............................................................................... CHAIRPERSON - STEVIE ROGERS Approved by the Trustees' on **31 JULY 2024** and signed on its behalf. Page 1 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DARTMOUTH GREEN PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 3 to 5. ## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent** 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011, (The Charities Act), and that an independent examination has been requested. It is my responsibility: 1) to examine the accounts under section 145 of The Charities Act 2) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission, (under Section 145(5)(b) of The Charities Act), and - 3) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner's statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An 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 items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Charity's Trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all of the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not present an audit opinion on the accounts. ## **Independent Examiner's Statement** In connection with my examination, no matters have 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 130 of the Charities Act; or to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting 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.
