Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees Arlingham Victory Hall On accounts for the year 30 June 2024 Charity no 1173603 ended (if any) Set out on pages Separate document ‘AVH_signed_accounts_2023-2024.pdf’

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 30 / 06 / 2024.

Responsibilities and As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the basis of report accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have examiner's statement come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

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

• the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and 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 to be reached.

Section B Disclosure

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners).

Give here brief details of The use of an online system has been investigated, but not implemented. The any items that the accounts were easy to work through and easily understood. examiner wishes to disclose . Points to note:

• Investigate the Interest rate on the Charity Easy Access account

• • Debtors at the end of the year (23/24) were significantly higher than the previous year

• Creditors are significantly less (historic creditor had been cleared)

• The rent on the house seems very low compared to other properties within the locality, but it must be noted that the rent has risen considerably over the last couple of years due to a long-term tenant remaining in place, in which relations have been strained in the past

Recommendations:

The house is the main source of income, therefore if the house was vacant for an amount of time (flood, fire, no tenant etc) the reserve funds would be depleted faster than they are being replenished – it is recommended to formulate a risk management plan.
