Independent Examiner's report to the Trustees of Tiptree Community Church
I report on the accounts of the trust for the period ended 31st March, set out on pages 5 and 6.
RespecIve responsibiliIes of trustees and examiner
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparaIon of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of secIon 43(2) of the chariIes Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General DirecIons given by the Charity Commissioners under secIon 43 (7) (b) of the Act, whether parIcular maQers have come to my aQenIon.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examinaIon was carried out in accordance with the General DirecIons given by the Charity Commissioners. An examinaIon includes a review of the accounIng records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideraIon of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanaIons from you as trustees concerning any such maQers. 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.
Independent examiner's statement
In connecIon with my examinaIon, no maQer has come to my aQenIon:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounIng records in accordance with secIon 41 of the act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounIng records and to comply with the accounIng requirements of the act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, aQenIon should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
