INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THOMAS POWIS ALMSHOUSES

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2017 which are set out in pages 1 to 4

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and examiner

As the Charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (as amended) (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts (under section 43(3) (a) of the Act and 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 report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a revue 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 you as Trustees 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 view given by 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 requirements

b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act (as amended) have not been met, or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
