Chair ofTwstees 24.9.2024 AmiriAgbai, Ttustee 24.9.2024 CHURCH ON THE GREEN NEIGHBOURHOOD FOUNDATION (cio) Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Church on the Green Neighbourhood Foundation I report on the accounts of the charity for the twelve month period ended 31 December 2023 which are set out on pages 1- 6 Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) 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 to state whether particular matters have come to my attention Basis of independent examiner's report 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 the accounts presented with 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. Independent examiner's statement In connection with of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act. and to prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 03/10/24 S Hart FCCA Date
