INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MAYOR OF PETERBOROUGH'S
CHARITY FUND
Respective
responsibilities of
Iruslees and
èxaminer
The charity's trustees are responsible lor the preparation ol the accounts. The charity's
Irustees consider thal an audit is not required lor this year under section 144 of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independenl examination is needed. It is
my responsibility to..
Examine the accounts under section 145 of lh& Charities Act 2011,
To follow Ihe procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission in section 14515){bl of the Act, and
To state whelher particular matters have come to my altention.
Basis ol
independent
examiners
slalement
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 ol the accounts presenled with those records.11 also
includes consideralian 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 Ihe evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair,
view. and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent
examiners
statement
In connection with my examination of the accounts lor 2024-25, no matter has come lo
my attention=
1 . Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in. any material respect,
the requirements..
lo keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 01 Ihe 2011
Act,. and
lo prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
During the review it was noted that there has been limited progress in addressing
previous recommendations lo strengthen governance and overall controls within
MPCF. In particular, M PCF'S Constitution should be reviewed and updated, financial
procedures should be clearly documented, and conflicts ol interest and trustee
expenses should be properly managed, with briefings provided lo each new
committee. A separate report will be issued to the truslees of MPCF to explain these
issues in more detail.
