## **Risk Management**
The Board has examined the major strategic, business and operations risks, which the charity faces and confirms that systems have been established so that the necessary steps can be taken to mitigate these risks.
## **Responsibilities of the Trustees**
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and its financial position at the end of the year.
In preparing the accounts the trustees should follow the best practice and:
- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- Follow the recommendations of the Charity Commission and of the accounting profession with regard to form and content of the accounts, or to disclose and explain any departures therefrom; and
- Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is appropriate to assume that the charity will be able to continue to meet its objectives.
The board of trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with The disclosure regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the charity’s assets, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of error, fraud and other Irregularities.

## **SYMMETRICAL (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **Independent Examiner’s Report To The Trustees Of SYMMETRICAL**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year to 31[st] March 2025, which are set out on pages 1 to 8.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) 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.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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 the seeking of 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 my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
- a) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- b) To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met.
or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. A.C. Riley ACA
