The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the general 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 examiner's statement** My examination was carried in accordance with the 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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report 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 examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 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 (ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## Rebecca Williams ## 25/10/2023 Rebecca Williams (Oct 25, 2023 16:20 GMT+1) ………………………………………………… **Mrs Rebecca Williams FCA LCA Chartered Accountants Date:** **2** ## **BRAUNTON AND DISTRICT MUSEUM STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES Year ended 31st December 2022** |Note
