Trustees responsibility for the accounts
Charity Law requires the trustees of the Association to prepare a receipts and payments account and a statement of assets and liabilities for each financial year. In addition, the trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Association. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE MAHDLO ENDOWMENT TRUST Independent Examiners Report
To the Trustees of the Mahdlo Endowment Trust
In accordance with the engagement letter we report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 May 2023 which are set out on pages 4 and 5.
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 period under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
a. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
b. to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 of the 2011 Act; and
-
c. to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiners 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 Association and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiners Statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
i. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
ii. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
