Independent examiner'5 report to the trustees of Lapworth Chrlstadelphian Ecdesla
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are *t out on page 3 of
the annual report.
Respertlve responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charlty's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charitys trustees consider that an
audit 15 not required for this year under section 14412) of the Charities Act 2011 {the 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under sertion 145 of the 2011 Att
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under
section 145(5)Ib) of the 2011 Act
.to stste whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent exarniner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes 3 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 15 given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view,
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention:
(i)
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that In any materlal respett the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordan￿ with section 130 of the 2011 Att and
to preparÉ accounts which accord with tho 3ccounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Art have not been met or
12)
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper under5tandinE
of the accounts to be reached
