INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE CHESTERFIELD UNITED CHARITIES

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st. December 2023 which are set out on pages 1-2.

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 the year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

1. Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act.

2. Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and

3. State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 these 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.

THE CHESTERFIELD UNITED CHARITIES

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHESTERFIELD UNITED CHARITIES (CONTINUED)

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(A) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

1. to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act;

2. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records of the Charities Act have not been met; or understanding of the accounts to be reached.
