INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
31ST December 2020
I have examined the financial statements, which comprises the financial activities, the Balance Sheet and the related Notes on pages 7 to 8 and the accounting policies of PATHWAY INTERNATIONAL for the year ended 31st December 2020.
This report made solely to the Charity's Trustees (who are the members of the charity for the purposes of charity obligations) and are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees think that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner:
As described on page 3, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements. It is my responsibility to carry out an independent examination of those financial statements and to issue a report based on that examination.
Scope Of examiner's Statement:
I conducted my examination in line with directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Charities Act 1993. An examination includes a review of accounting records kept by the charity and comparison of the financial statements with those records as well as explanations from trustees concerning the records. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit. Consequently, no audit opinion is given and the report is limited to the statements below:
Independent examiners statement:
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe in any material respect the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Companies Act 2006, and
-
To prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the SORP: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
-
Which in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of financial statements to be reached.
and dated 13th April 2021.
