INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
ARTS EDUCATION EXCHANCE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I report on Ihe accounis of Arts Edu¢ation Exchange for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise thc
slatcment of financiaE activities, balance sheet and rclated nolcs set out on pages 4 to 9.
Respective responsibililies ofmembers and rtyaminer
The trustees are responsible for th¢ prepardlion of the accounts. The trU￿e¢S Consider that an audit IS Dot required
for this year under section 144(2) of the Charitics Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independcnt examination is
needcd. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and l am qualified to undertake the examination by being a
qualified member of the Insiitute of Chartered Accountsnls in England and Wales.
It is my restK)nsibility to..
cxamtne the accounts under seclion 145 of the 2011 Acl:
lo follow ihe procedures laid down in the G¢n¢rdl Directions given by the Charily Commissioner under
section 14515)(b) of the 2011 Aci- and
lo stale whether particular matiers have come to my attention.
Basis ofindependeni examiner s rewri
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Generdl Directions given by the Charity Commissioner.
An examination includes a review of Ihe accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of ihe accounis
presented with ihose records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and
the seeking of ¢xplanalions from you as members concerning any such mallers. Th¢ procedure5 undcrtaken do not
provide all the evid¢n¢c thai would be required in an audii and, consequ¢Dtly, no opinion is given as to whetl)er the
accounis present a 'tru¢ and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the siatement below.
Independenl examiner s jlulemeni
In conncciion with my examination, no maieri81 mallcts have come lo my attention which give me cause to believ¢
that in any material respect:
the accounting records were not kept in a¢cordan¢e wilh section 130 of the 2011 Act. or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did nol comply with Ihe applicable requiremenls conc￿ll1n8 the forni and content of the
a¢counts set vul in the Charities (Accounis and Reporfs) Regulations 2(M)8 other than any requirement
to show a 'tru¢ and fair view, which is noi a matter considered as part of an indepcndcnt exainination.
I have come across no other mailers in connection wilh the examination to which attention should be drawn in
ord¢r to enable a proper underslanding of the accounts lo be reach¢d.
