The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144) of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is required. It is our responsibility to: - examine the accounts (under section 145(1)(a) of the 2011 Act); - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b)) of the 2011 Act); and - to state whether particular matters have come to our attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## Continued …. page 3 ## **LONGFLEET FOOTBALL CLUB** ## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the members of Longfleet Football Club - continued** ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or - (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts. .............................................. **C Dunn FCCA Newton Magnus** Chartered Certified Accountants Arrowsmith Court Station Approach Broadstone Dorset BH18 8AT Date: 31 January 2025 page 4
