Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
2022/2023 was another impressive and successful year because the Association was able to pay the school fees and boarding (residential) costs for 7 girls from extremely poor backgrounds who would not have been able to school. The fees are paid through the Education Secretary of the Mamfe Diocese. Due to the higher cost of living pressures, the discount of CFA75K discount on boarding was waved and we had to pay some additional fees for the 7 students amounting to CFA525K
The students were in different classes with the secondary education. 2 students completed the academic year and were promoted to the next year and 4 completed their O’Levels with excellent results. One of the students dropped out due to ill health.

Independent Examiners Report Report to the Trustees/members of: OPSA UK On accounts for the year ended: 31 December 2022 Charity No: 1188170
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of OPSA UK for the year ended 31 December 2022. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's 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 kept 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 accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide evidence that the accounts attached present a "true and fair" view.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Felix Ndeloh 31/10/2023
