Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lapworth Christadelphian Ecclesia
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on page 3 of
the annual report.
Respective responsibilities of trnstees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity'5 trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)
and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under sedion 145 of the 2011 A
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section
14515iibl of the 2011 Art
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 a review of the accounting record5 kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those ￿cordS. It 31s0 include5 consideration of any unusual
items or di5cIosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any
such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ 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 limrted to those matters set out in the next ststement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connertion with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
iii
which gives me reasonable cause trj believe that in any material respect the requ1￿Ments-
• to keep accounting records in accordance vnth section 130 of the 2011 Act and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and Comp￿ with the accountin8
requirement5 of the 2011 Act have wtot been met or
121
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the 3ccounts to be reathed
