Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Starbeck Community Library
We report on the accounts of the charity, and accompanying notes, set out on the following pages for the year ended 31 March 2021
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner :
The trustees who are also the directors of charity-blank for the purposes of company
law are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination it is our responsibility to :
- 1) examine the account under section 145 of the 2001 act;
2) to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 act; and
- 3) to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report :
Our 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 present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement :
In the course of our examination, no matter has come to our attention which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of 36 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principle of the Statement of Recommended Practice : Accounting and Reporting by Charities;
to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
