| I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 05/04/2024. As the charity's trustees, 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 all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: |
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
• the accounts did 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.
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.

Section B Disclosure
Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners).
Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose .
My examination was conducted in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An independent examination involves reviewing the accounting records and comparing the financial statements with those records. It also includes an assessment of whether the statements are consistent with the accounting policies and an overall review of the church’s financial position.
Scope and Limitations of the Examination
The procedures undertaken do not provide the same level of assurance as an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the financial statements. My examination has been limited to reviewing records and transactions and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.
