**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Babington's Charity** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019, which are set out on pages three to eight. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I have examined your charity's accounts as required under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe: 

1. that accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. that the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 

4. that there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Babington's Charity** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019, which are set out on pages three to eight. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I have examined your charity's accounts as required under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe: 

1. that accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. that the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 

4. that there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
