## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of International Zen Association (United Kingdom)** 

## **Year ended 31 December 2023** 

```
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31
December 2023.
```

```
.
```

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

```
As the Charity’s 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
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 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:
```

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

`2. the accounts do not accord with 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.
```
