## Independent Examination of the Coach House Church Accounts. 

(Unqualified report for a non- company charity receipts and payments accounts) with a gross income of less than £250,000 in the financial year ending 31/12/2023. 

## **Independent examiners report to the trustees of the Coach House Church.** Please find 

attached my report to the trustees, on my examination of the Coach House Church accounts for the financial year ending 31st December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report.** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trusts 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 examiners statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord to those records. 

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.
