INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF COMMUNITY GROWTH INITIATIVE
I report on the accounts of the Community Growth Initiative, registered charity number 1165507 for the accounts year ended 28th February 2025 set out on pages 4 to 6.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation for the accounts in accordance with the requirement of the Charities Act 2011 (''the Act''). The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act)
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and in accordance FRS 102 SORP
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT:
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT:
In connection with our examination, no matter has 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 41 of the Act; and
-
. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act 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.
