INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MISSIONARIES OF APOSTOLIC GRACE
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Missionaries of Apostolic Grace (the “Charity”) for the year ended 30[th] June 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees, 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 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 examiner’s 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
As the Charity’s gross income for the year did not exceed £250,000, I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a person who is independent of the Charity.
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.
Signed:
Name of Independent Examiner: Joan Antony [Accountant] Date: 19/02/2026
