Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Hankool Foundation
I wish to confirm that I have undertaken an independent examination of the Statement of Accounts for the Hankool Foundation under section 43(3) of the Charities Act 1993 for 2024/2025.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedure specified in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(B) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and comparison of the account 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
