D&S Productions Independent Examiners Report For The Year Ended 31st December 2020
We report on the accounts of the charitable company for the Year Ended 31st December 2020, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position and related notes.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees, who are also directors for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 act) and that an independent examination is required.
Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for an independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charities Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company 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 all the evidence that would be required n an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to my attention:-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 394 and 95 of the Companies Act 2016 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of he accounts to be reached
