INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HWB TORFAEN

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities 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 procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Chairity Commission (under section 145(5)(b)of the Charities Act, and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 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 to indicate that:

(1) Accounts have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.

(2) The accounts do not accord with such records.

(3) Where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006,or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS 102)

(4) Any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
