## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHARITY "Friends of Birchwood " NO 1197564 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 1[st] October 2023**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of "Friends of Birchwood” for the period ending 1[st] October 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Cha rity 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 2011 Act, and carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 connect ion 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 sect ion 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.
