Independent examiner's report to the trustees of John Paul11 Polish Saturday School in Liverpool I report to the charity trust'ees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 August 2023. Responsibilities and basis of report As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act,): I have examined your charity's accounts as required under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 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: 1. that accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. that the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 4. that there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the account Independent examlner's statement- matter of concern identified I have completed my examination and I have identified a matter of concem regarding a missing grant of £2,031.10 from 'Wspolnota Polska,. This grant was included in the charitys Annual Statement of Income and Expenditure but could not be traced to the charity's bank statements. Upon requesting clarification from the Trustees, it was determined that the grant did not belong to the 202212023 accounts, which cover the period from 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023.

The grant was paid in two instalments: the first on 6 June 2022, and the second on 6 October 2023. As both payment dates fall outside the reporting period in question, it was confirmed that the first instalment had already been reflected in the previous year's accounts, while the second instalment will be appropriately included in the accounts for the next financial year. In response, the Trustees promptly reviewed the charity's accounting records and amended the 202212023 accounts to remove the incorrectly included , grant. They also ensured that all other transactions were accurately categorised. Crucially, these changes did not impact the final financial results or the previously calculated and reported loss for the year ending 31 August 2023. To enhance accuracy and prevent discrepancies in future financial reporting, the Trustees have decided to consider engaging a professional accountant to prepare and review the charitys accounts going forward. In respect of any of matters (1), (3) and (4) listed above and in follo.wing the Directions of the Charity Commission I have found no other matters that require drawing to your attention.
