STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Trustees have conducted a review of the major tasks to which the charity is exposed and, where appropriate, systems and/or procedures have been established to mitigate the risk the company faces. Significant external risk to funding has led to the development of a strategic plan, which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities.

The company fundraises on it’s own behalf.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

NORTHWOOD COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION

We report on the accounts of Northwood Community Centre Association for the year ending 30th September 2020.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is our responsibility to :

Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act)

To follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act) and

To state whether particular matters have come to our attention.

This report, including our statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s Trustees as a body. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body for our examination work, for this report, or for the statements we have made.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as 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 financial statements 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 connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention :

• a. Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that

• Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act) and

• Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act or

• b. To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
