Independent Examiner's Report
PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of League of Friends of Co55ham Hospital
I report on the accounts of the charity for the 12 month period ended 31 March 2025.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity trustees
consider that an audit is not required under section 114{21 of the Charitie5 Act 2011 and that an
ndependent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to
Examine the accounts under S145 of the 2011 Act
To follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 14515){b) of the 2011 Act
And 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 Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual iterns of 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 vlew 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:
(al To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
{b} 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 better understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
