Report to the
trustees of
Bensham
Grove Community
Centre
On accounts for
the yearsnded
31 December 2022
Charity no
1188101
Respective The trustees ofthe organisation
are responsible
for the preparation
of
responsibilities
of
accounts; they consider that an audit is not required
for this year under
trustees and section 144(2)ofthe Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent
examiner Examination
is needed.
It is my responsibility
to
~ examine the accounts (under secbon 145ofthe 2011 Act),
~follow the procedures
laid down
in the General
Directions given by
the
Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b)ofthe Act), and
~state whether
particular
matters
have come to my attention.
Basis of My examination
was carried out in accordance
with General Directions
independent given by the Charity Commissioners.
An examinahon
includes
a review
examiner's ofthe accounting
records kept by the charity and a companson
ofthe
statement accounts presented
with those records.
It also indudes
consideration
of
any unusual
items or disdosures
in the accounts,
and seeking
explanations
from the trustees
concerning
eny such matters
The
procedures
undertaken
do not provide
all the evidence that would be
required
In an audit, and consequently
I do not express an audit opinion
on the accounts.
Independent In the course of my examination,
no matter hss come to my attention
examiner's 1
which gives me reasonable
cause to believe that in, any material
statement respect, the trustees have not met the requirements
to ensure
that
~ proper accounting
records are kept (in accordance
with section 130of
the Act); and
~accounts are prepared
which agree with the accounting
records
and
comply with the accounting
requirements
ofthe Act; or
2. to which,
in my opinion,
attention
should be drawn
in order
to enable a
proper understanding
ofthe accounts to be reached.
