BOBOV SHUL INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOBOV SHUL YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Bobov Shul for the year ended 31 May 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.

Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiners

The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited under the Charities Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Basis of Independent Examiners’ report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting record 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 the seeking of explanations from the trustees concerning any such matter. 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 that report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiners’ Statement

As your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act, I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination being a fellow member of The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) which is one of the listed bodies.

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

Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
The accounts do not accord with those records; or
The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 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.
