INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
We report on the financial statements of The New Keith Thompson Centre for the
period ended 31st July 2025.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES
The charity is responsible for Ihe presentation of the financial statements, and
considers that the audit requirement of Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)
does not apply. It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of protsdures specified in
the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 145 5(b) of
the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions of the
Charity Commissioners. 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 financial
statements, and seeking explanations concerning such matters. The prO￿dureS
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial
statements.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with our examination of the charity's funds, nothing came to our attention
which gave us cause to believe otherwise than that the financial statements accord with
the accounting records of the charity, and that those records satisfied the requirements
of the Act. We are not aware of any matter to which attention should be drawn in order
to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
