Independent examiner's report to the Trustees on the accounts of Make My Tomorrow CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024

I report on the financial statements of Make My Tomorrow CIO for the year ended 31st March 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on pages 2 to 4, the Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act'). The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

It is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and;

Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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, report and opinion

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.
