PAUL’S AMATEUR OPERATIC AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY** I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st July 2024. ## **Respective responsibilities of the Society Officers and Independent Examiner** The charity’s trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Society at the end of the financial year and of the income and expenditure for that period. The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** My examination was carried out 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 the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full 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 Independent Examiner’s statement. ## **Independent Examiner's Statement** In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention which: 1. give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements • to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Alan Klenk 2 Henacre Wood Court Queensbury Bradford BD13 2LJ** 20thJune 2025
