Independent Examlnèr's Report to the Trustees of
Coals4Kid5
I rèport lo th& Iruslees on my exatllinalion ol the accounts of Goats4Kids I'the charily'l for the yoar 8nded 30 June
2025, which are set out on pages S 10 10.
Rpsponslbllill&s and basls of report
As the trustees of the charity. you are respDnsible lor the prBparalion of the accounts in accordance with the
rgquiremènts of the Charille8 Act 20111.lhe 2011 Acl'l.
I report in respect of my examlnalion of the charity's accounts carrled out urKler section 145 of the 2011 Act and
In carrying out my examlnalion I have followed all th8 applicable Dire¢llons given by the Charity Commission under
section 14515llbl of the 2011 Act.
An independent examin8lion does not involve gathering all the Bvid8nce that would be requirèd in an audil and
consequently does not cover all the matters that an aLJdiior oonsiders In giving their opinion on the accounts. The
planning and condllcl of an audit goes beyond the limlled assurance that an indap8ndenl examlnalion can provlde.
Consequently, l express no opinion a5 to whethor the accounts present a 'lrue and fair viow, and my i&porl is
limlled lo those specific mÈtt8rs sel out in the independent examiner's statement.
Independent examlner's stat8m&nt
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material mall915 have com6 to my allentlon in connection with
the BX8minalion gFvlng me reasonable cause lo belièv6 that in any material respect..
accounting records were not kèpl in respect ol the charlly as required by se¢llc)n 130 of th6 2011 Act., or
2. tho accounts do nul accord with thosè re￿rdS,. or
3. the 8c¢ounts do not comply wllh the appllcable requiremen15 concèrnlng the lorrn and conlenl of accounts sel
out in the Charitie5 (Accounts and Re￿rts) Règulations 2008 other than Bny requirement that the accounts
give a 'lrue and fair viev¢ which is not a maller considered as parl of an independent examination.
I have no concerns 4nd have come across no olher mallers in connection with the examinalion lo which attentlon
should be drawn in thi5 repori in Drder to enable a prop91 understanding of the accounts lo be reachpd.
