STARBECK COMMUNITY LIBRARY
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Starbeck Community Library
I report on the accounts of the Charity and accompanying notes set out on the following pages for the
year ending 31 March 2025.
Respeciive Responsibilities of the Trustees and Examlner
The trustees who are also the directors of the Charity for the purpose of company law are responsible for
the preparation of the account5. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period under
Section 144(21 of the Charity Act 2011 and that an independent examination is necessary.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
Follow the procedures laid down in the general direction given by the Charity Commission under
Section 145{5}Ibl of the 2011 Act; and
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examlner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charitv
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 a150 includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures of the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such
matters. The procedure5 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 review, and the
report Is Ilmited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examlner's Ststement
In the course of my examination, no matter ha5 come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to
believe that in any material respect:
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
The accounts do not accord with those records;
The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 386 of the Companies
Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair, view which is not
matter considered as part of an independent examination;
The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the
Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
iv.
to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
