## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees** Charity Name 1[st] & 3[rd] New Barnet Scout Group **On accounts for the year** 31 March 2025 **Charity no** 1199152 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1&2 (remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 March 2025. **Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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. 

* _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ **Signed: Date:** 9 June 2025 **Name:** Lorraine Yates T/A Yates Accountancy **Relevant professional** Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor **qualification(s) or body (if any): Address:** 64 Somerset Road, New Barnet, Hertfordshire, EN5 1JD

## **Section B                           Disclosure** 

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). 

**Give here brief details of** The Statement of Assets and Liabilities includes Land & Buildings which have **any items that the** been occupied by the Scout Group for a long period of time, and from which the **examiner wishes to** Scout Group benefits from the rental income generated. This property is **disclose** . currently unregistered with the Land Registry and will remain so for the present time due to the high costs and difficulty involved with arranging such a registration. The Land and Buildings have been included within the accounts at the value of £650,000 which is deemed to be a reasonable valuation by the Trustees. 

In the previous two accounting periods the Independent Examination highlighted that funds were being misappropriated from the charity bank account. This issue has been addressed by the Trustees, the individual in question is no longer associated by the Scout Group, and the misappropriated funds have been recovered. 

The financial controls of the Scout Group have been strengthened by the current leadership to ensure that this situation cannot arise again.
