GILLETT CHARITABLE TRUST** (Charity Number 216018) ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** ## Report to the Trustees on the accounts for the year ended 5 April 2024 ## 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: a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, b) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act, and c) to state whether particular matters have come to our attention. ## Basis of independent Examiner's statement Our examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Chairty 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 explanation 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 repect, the requirements: a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and b) 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. ## L R Ford Dove Ford & Co Ltd Signed:…………………………………………….. 05 Feb 2025 Chartered Certified Accountants 30 Sansome Walk Date:……………………………………………….
