Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of South Yorkshire Sickle Cell Organisation
I report on the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 10-14.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Trustees (who are also the Directors of the Company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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) nor part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act.
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 43 (7)(b) of the 1993 Act; and
-
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 Commission. An examination includes review of the accounting records and bank statements kept by the Charity. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters.
Independent examiners statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
The accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
The accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
