- TO: The Trustees The Goodacre’s Almshouse Charity Charity Number 218757
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 30 April 2021.
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under Section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the Act.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act
-
or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Signed:
Name: K Burnham
Date: 26.11.2021
