## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Members of The Croydon Philharmonic Society Choir** 

I report on the Accounts of the Society for the year ended 30th June 2022 

## **Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner** 

As a charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts: you consider that the audit requirements of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 43(7) (b) of the Act) whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **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 charity has not met the requirements: to ensure:- 

*           Accounting records are kept in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and 

*           Accounts are prepared which agree 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 understanding of the accounts to be reached.
