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.
