Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees for the year ended 30[th] June 2022
I have examined the financial statements on pages 4 to 7, which have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of 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 is to:
-
Examine the accounts 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.
-
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. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent Examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
a). to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act.
and
b). to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and 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.
