## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Ripponden Pre School**
I report to the trustees on my examina�on of the accounts of Ripponden Pre-school for the year ended 31/ 08/ 2025.
I report in respect of my examina�on of the Trust’s accounts carried out under sec�on 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examina�on, I have followed all the applicable Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under sec�on 145(5)(b) of the Act.
examina�on I have completed. I confirm that no material ma�ers have come to my a�en�on in connec�on with the examina�on which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
• The accoun�ng records were kept in accordance with sec�on 130 of the Chari�es Act;
• The accounts did comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Chari�es Accounts and Reports other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view.
I have no concerns and have come across no other ma�ers in connec�on with the examina�on to which a�en�on should be drawn in this report.
Yours sincerely
Franck Messou, BCom (Acct)
