**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **12th ENFIELD SCOUT GROUP** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of 12th Enfield Scout Group** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of 12th Enfield Scout Group (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) ofthe Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3 

the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

The 200 Club which provides support to the Trust is operated independently from the Trust and the receipts and payments in relation to that have not been examined other than the extent of any donations to the Trust 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
