Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of NORTH LONDON KOREAN SCHOOL
I report on the accounts for the period ended 31 May 2025 set out on pages four to seven.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charities trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The charities trustees consider if 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 required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedure laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
-
to state whether particular matters have to come to my attention
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of 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 under taken do not provide all 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 to the statements below.
Independent examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives the 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 to 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.
