INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WONDERFULLY MADE WOMAN CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION (“THE CHARITY”)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities and statement of financial position and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As trustees of the Charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’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.
As trustees you consider that an audit is not required for this year and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income did not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Chartered Association of Certified Accountants (ACCA).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
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 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 next statement.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act;
or
- The accounts do not accord with those records.
I 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.

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

- income from contracts for the supply of services or goods is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service or goods. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

-

At 31 December 2023, the Charity had net liabilities of £6,106 (2022: Net assets £14,568). The trustees believe that are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and it is therefore appropriate to prepare these account on a going concern basis.
