The Independent Examiner's Report
The Independent examinerf5 reportto the Trvslees ol Bar¢ombe Willage HaN Charlty Number 213910
I report on accwftts ofthe trust for year ended 31 December 2023. which are attached.
Re5pertv4e respon5ibilitiesof the trustees and the examiner
As trustees you are responsible for the preparalion of the accounts- you considerthat an audit is flot reqUI￿d under
settion 144121 ofthe charit￿ Art 2011 (the ZOII Arf) and that an independent eKamination is needed.
5t is my responsibiltty to:
Examine the accounts tsndef sectlon 145 ofthe 2011 Art-
To follow the pr(tedurÈs laid down in the general directtms of the Charity Commis5ron under sectlon 14515llbl of
the 2011 Act,. and
To State whether particular matters hwe cometo my attention.
8a51s of th15 report
My examination was carried out in ¥cordance with General DirecEion5 8iven by the Charity Commission. That
exarrination includes 3 review of the accounting records kept try the tfustees ènd a comparison of the account5 Wlth
those records. It also in£l￿deS considerin8 any UnUSiJal items or discltssures in the accounts and seeking explanations
from you a5 trustee5 ctsncemin8 any such matters. The procedure5 undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audii, and consequently opinion 1$ 8iven as to whether the accounrs sxe5ent a ~true and
fair Vie￿ and the report is limtted to those matters set out in the statement below.
Indèpendent examinees Staiement
In connertion with my examinat40n, no matter has come to my attention..
which gives me reasonab￿ ￿￿se to believe that ift any material respect the requirements
to keep accountin8 recorits in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,. and
to prepare accovnts which accord with the accOuntTr￿ records and comply with the r￿VIrements of the Art
and the Regul&tions
have not been met.. or
to which. in my opinion. attentbon should be drawn in orderlo enable a propel understanding of the accounts to
be reached.
