INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REpoKf TO THE MEMBERS OF
SILVERTON ROOM 4 U
Year Ended 31 MARCH 2025
I report on accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025, whlch are set out on pages 4 and 5.
Respective Responslbllltles of Trustees and Examlner
The charity's trustees (who are also the Direciors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is nat
required for this year under sectlon 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 act) and that an
Independent examination Is needed.
Having satisff ed myself that the charlty is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Att 2006
and is eligible for independent examination, it is my resEM)nsibllty to..
Examlne the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Att,.
To follow the pro￿ureS laid down in the General Dir￿tionS given by the Charity Commi*ion
under section 145{5){b) of the 2011 Act,. and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention,
Basis of Independent Exarniner's Report
My examinatr.on wa5 carrled out in accordance wf(h the 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 explanation5 from the trustees concernlng any suc
matters. The proTrdures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audrt,
and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the
report is limited to these matter5 set out in the statement below.
Independent ExamSner'$ Statement
In the course of my examinauon, no matter has come to my attention..
which give5 me reasonable cause to believe tha¢ in any materlal respe¢ the trustees have not
met the requirements to ensure that..
proper accounts'ng records are kept in accordan￿ with section 386 of the Companies Act
2006; and
accounts are prepared which agree wth the accounting records and comply wrth the
accounting requirements of the Companies Art 2006 and with the meth￿S ar￿ principles
of the Statement of Recommended Practi￿.. Accounting and Reporting by Chanties
(revised 20051 have not been met,. or
to whlch in my opinion, attention should be drawn In order to enable a proFEr understanding of
the a￿oUnts to be reached.
