REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ST MARY AND ST CYRIL (CHARITY NO. 1168050) ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] , MARCH 2025.
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the St Mary And St Cyril for the year ended 31[st] , March 2025.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year ended 31[st] , March 2025 , under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts provide a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
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 2011; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
