## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LSSP FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of LSSP ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.

On reviewing the funds of the LSSP charity and from information provided to us, we believe that the LSSP charity has sufficient funds to meet its current obligations for 18 months and can meet any cessation costs that may arise in the near future from accumulated funds.
The LSSP charity has now taken on the responsibility of paying the staff with effect from 1st January 2024.
