## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Belle`s Story CIO**
I report to the charity trustees on my examina�on of the accounts of Belle`s Story CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 31[st] March 2024.
## **Responsibili�es and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the prepara�on of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Chari�es Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examina�on of the Trust's accounts carried out under Sec�on 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examina�on I have followed all applicable Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under Sec�on 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
connec�on with the examina�on giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accoun�ng records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Sec�on 130 of the Act;
or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Chari�es (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a ma�er considered as part of an independent examina�on.
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 in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
