# **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/08/2022.
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of **basis of report** the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
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.
## **Independent**
**examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of applicable listed body]]. _Delete_ [ ] _if not applicable._
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** .
Going forward please ensure any cash funds that are received are paid into the Charity bank account. I appreciate that this does not identify easily where the funds have come from and therefore careful records will need to be kept.
Ensure donations paid for a specific dog are clearly noted so that funds in and funds out are easily identified.
