**Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 


## **Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/ DEW OF BLESSING CHERRUBIM AND SERAPHIM CHURCH members of 31[st] October 2021 Charity 1180485 On accounts for the year no (if ended any) Set out on pages** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 / 10 / 2021. 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** The charity’s gross income did not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of AAT. 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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. 

**Signed:** _C Asamoah_ **Date:** 18[th] November 2021 **Name:** Cecilia A Asamoah **Relevant professional** MAAT **qualification(s) or body** 20335842 **(if any):**
