PUBLIC ADDRESS: 11 Alderman Gatley House, Civic Centre, Wythenshawe, M22 5RQ
Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 30[th] April 2023
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th April 2023.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not a requirement 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 therefore 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 financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements 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 my examination no matter has come to my attention:
- Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that?
Winsburg Limited; 34 Britannia Way; Norwich ; NR5 0UW Telephone 01603 570668 email: info@winsburg.co.uk Website: www.winsburg.co.uk
-
proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
financial statements are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
