**Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/** Bowers and Pitsea Youth Football Club **members of On accounts for the year** 30[th] June 2024 **Charity no** 1173590 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 3 and 4 (remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) 

**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in **responsibilities of** accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). **trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

   - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

   - to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and 

   - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** 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 includes 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 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’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

**Independent** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my **examiner's statement** attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have no concerns and 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.
