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. |
