[3] INDEPE￿I)ENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE fRUSTEES OF WARE CHORAL SOCIETY CIO I report on the accounts of the Organisation for the year ended 15 July 2025. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's trnstees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examinatlOTI IS needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities ACL to follow the procedures laid doivn in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the Charities Act. and to state whcther 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 records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presentcd with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procdures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be Tequired in an audit, and consequently no opinion is gii'en as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and th¢ report is limitcd to those matters set out in the statem¢nt below: Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe thaL in any material respecL the requirements: to kttp accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting rquirements of the Charities Act have not been met" or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
