to thè Charlty Trustees of
Abacus Pr￿ChoOl Llchfiold
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. wh￿h are sel out on pages 5 10 8.
Respoctlve Re8pon8Sbllltles of tho TfUSte•8 and EX￿In￿r
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparal*)n of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this year under section 4312} of the Charrties Act 1993 Ilhe Acll, las
amended by s.28 of the Charits'es Act 20061 and that an independent examination is needed.
11 is my responsibility lo..
examine the accounts (under Section 43 of the Acl. as amended)..
follow the pr¢xedures laid down in the General DIrect￿n$ given by the Charty Commission8r8
(under se¢lion 43{7Mbl of the Act. as amended}', and
slate whether particular matters have come lo my attention.
Ba•1• of Indepond•nt Examln•es Stst•rn•nt
My 8xaminalion was carried out in ac￿rdance wlh the General Directions given by the Charity
Commi$$ioner$. An examination indudes a review of the accounting re¢ord$ kept by the Charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes COns￿erat￿n of any unLs$ual
items or disclosures in the accounts and se8kirvJ explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do r￿1 express an audit opinion on viow given by Ihe acwnls.
Indop•nd•nt Exarnln•f 8 Stat•rn•nt
In connection with my examinalM)n, no matt¢r ha$ come lo my attention..
which gives ma reasonable c4use lo believe that in any material respect the requirem8n15
to keep accounting records in accordance with SeCt￿n 41 of the Act., and
to prepare accounts which accor(i with the accountirKJ re¢tyd$ and lo comply wtth the
a¢¢ounling requirements of the Act
have not been mel., or
2. to which. in my opinion, attention should ￿ drawn in ¢xder lo enable a woper understanding of the
a¢counl$ lo be reached.
