INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

Report to the Trustees/Directors of Taunton Model Engineers on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 set out on pages 4 to 8 inclusive. Charity Number 1178760, Company Number 3042204

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.

As the charity's trustees of the Company (who are also directors of the Company 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 for this year 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 1345 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

I have completed my examination, I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:

accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or

the accounts do not accord with such records; or

the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirements that the accounts give a "true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

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.
