Chairman 24 March 2022 1 INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HERTFORD AND DISTRICT SOCIETY FOR MENTALLY HANDICAPPED CHILDREN AND ADULTS We report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2021 which are set out on pages 3 and 4. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; - follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and - state whether particular matters have come to our attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner's report** Our 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 presented 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 statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: - (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or - (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
