INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS OF
THE ROSE TRUST
Report to the Trustees on the accounts for the year ended 31st Decernber 2024
set out on pages l & 2
Respective responsibilitles of the Trustees and Examiner:
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts but, at the
Trustees, request, I have prepared accounts on their behalf. The Trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this year under section 144{2) Charities Act 2011
(the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
{a) examine the accounting records under Section 145 of the Act.
Ib} follow the procedures specified in the General Directions gven by the
Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act and
(c I state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examlner's ststement
My exarnination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. My examination included a review of the accounting records
kept by the Charity. The procedures undertaken by me do not provide all the evidence
that would be required by an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether
the accounts represent a true and fair view and this report is limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:_
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirement to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the
Act have not been met. The accounts drawn up by me accord with the accounting
records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.
{2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understsnding of the accounts to be reached.
