Independent Examiner’s Report
To the Trustees of Thumhara Centre C.I.O. on the accounts for the year-ended 31/03/2023 set out in pages 1-10.
Respective Responsibilities of trustees and examiners
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under S.144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to; -
-
Ø Examine the accounts under S.145 of the charities Act
-
Ø To follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under S.145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
Ø To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts provide a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect; -
-
Ø Accounting records were not kept in accordance with S.130 of the Charities Act or
-
Ø The accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
