In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: - q select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - q make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - q prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it - is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. q state whether applicable accounting standards of recommended - practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

Signed on behalf of the Trustees on_____________ by Mrs A Heeley Secretary 3 Thomas Chambers Newton Memorial Hall ## Independent Examiner's report to the Trustees of Thomas Chambers Newton Memorial Hall for the year ended 31 December 2022 I report on the accounts of Thomas Chambers Newton Memorial Hall for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 7. ## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011; - q to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b)of the 2011 Act; and - q to state 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 Charities Commissioners. 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 explanations 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: q to keep appropriate accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and q to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 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.

This is in line with Charity Commissioners guidelines for small groups and is seen as more appropriate for this group. ## **2 Trustee expenses and remuneration** No trustee received any remuneration for services carried out during the accounting period Trustees are reimbursed for day to day expenses such as postage and materials which they purchase directly for the charity. 7
