Statement of the Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Charities Act 2011 requires the Trustees to keep proper books of account with respect to the affairs of the charity, and to prepare statements of unaudited accounts for each accounting year consisting of a Receipts and Payments account together with notes to the accounts. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are expected to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
Follow the recommendations of the Charity Commission and of the accounting profession with regard to the form and content of the unaudited accounts and to disclose and explain any departures there from;
-
Prepare the unaudited accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will be able to meet its objectives; and
-
Consider the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2021
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The St. Mary’s Charities (also known as St. Mary’s Hospital Charities) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity, 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 2011 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.
My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Group’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s 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 group and the Group’s Trustees, as a body, for my work or for this report.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with my examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
The accounts do not accord with those records
-
The financial statements do 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.
