They are provided with a number of publications, detailed guides and how to guides, from the Charity Commission including "What makes a charity", "Charitable purposes and public benefit" and "Public benefit; the rules for charities". This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act.

## **Independent Examiner’s report on the Accounts of**
## **Hope 2 Humanity**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hope 2 Humanity (the Charity) for the year ended 31 August 2024.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The Charity Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
- Examine the Accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act, and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of opinion**
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 the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures 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 Accounts whether the Accounts present a “True and Fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
## **Independent Examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); or
- Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
- (2) To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
