It also includes a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 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: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met: or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **16th July 2024** Ruth Gee ## **Accounting For Artists Ltd** 3, Dudley Court, Carlton Rd, Manchester, M16 8DA **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Pawpurrs Halfway House** I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5th April 2023 ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
