INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Northampton Alevi Cultural Centre.
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2025 which consists of the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and the related notes
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act')
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 Examiner's Statement
The charity’s gross income not exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICB, CPAA and ICPA
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have 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.
We have not carried out an audit or any other review, and consequently we do not express any opinion on these accounts.
