As the charity’s Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that an audit is not required for the year ended 30[th] June 2025 under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the “Act”), and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
i) examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act),
-
ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and
-
iii) to state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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 the course of our examination, no matter has come to our attention (other than that disclosed below):
-
i) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
a. to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
-
ii) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
