This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might inform charity’s Trustees on those matters that I am required to report to them arising from this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. ## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. 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 my responsibility to: - examine the financial statements under Section 145 of the 2011 Act; - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b)^ of the 2011 Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 2 ## I **ndependent Examiner's Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - a) which gives me 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 financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; - have not been met; or - b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. ## **Additional Comments by the Independent Examiner** (if any) signed on original) Date: October 2021 Independent Examiner 3 # **Wilton United Charities (Registered Charity** _**N0 1146194)**_ **Financial Statements – as at 31 Dec 20** ## **Cash and Deposit Account Holdings** **Investment Holdings** 4 Wilton Unlted Charity Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021 Tattersalls Glyn House.
