Independent Examlner's Report
to the Charity Trustees of
Abacus Preschool Llchfield
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
Respectlve Responslbilities of the Trustees and Examlner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this year under section 4312) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act), (as
amended by s.28 of the Charities Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act, as amended);
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
(under section 43(71{b) of the Act, as amended), and
stste whether any particular matters have come to my attention.
8asl8 of Independent Examlner's Statement
My examination was carried out In accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examlner'8 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 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.
