The Trustees Robert Southwell Charitable Foundation Slough Lane Kingsbury London NW9 8YD 

27[th] December 2024 

Dear Trustees 

## **St. Robert Southwell Charitable Foundation Charity No:  1187642 Accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2024** 

Thank you for appointing me to independently examine the St. Robert Southwell Charitable Foundation accounts. 

## **Respective Responsibilities** 

The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounting information. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for his year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charity’s Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

During an independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts/information under Section 145 of the Charities Act 

- To follow the procedures laid down in general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 



## **St. Robert Southwell Charitable Foundation Charity No:  1187642 Accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2024** 

## **Basis of the independent Examiners Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records held by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounting information and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts/information present a “true and fair” view.  The report is therefore limited to those matters set out in the statement. 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charity’s Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charity’s Act have not been met or to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

Yours faithfully 

Caroline McEvoy
