John Sampson- Chairman Mrs Julie Westley - Clerk Co-ordinator ## Report of the independent examiner to the Deddington Charity Estates CIO This report on the accounts of the Deddington Charity Estates CIO for the period ended 31 December 2020, set out on the attached page, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. ## Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the independent examiner The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. On the basis that the trustees consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (2011 Act) does not apply, it is my responsibility to follow the procedures specified in the General Directors given by the Charity Commissioners under s145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## Basis of the independent examiner’s report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. The examination included a review of the accounting records maintained by the treasurer and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also included the consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as the trustees concerning 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 view given by the accounts. ## Independent examiner’s statement In connection with my 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 section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
