Voice of Hope January 2022
The charities trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charities trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the charities act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the charity commission under section 145(5) b of the 2011 Act; and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of accounts presented within those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention;
This gives me reasonable cause to believe that all material respects the requirements below:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with the section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
