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.
