Independent Examiner's Report
To the trustees of The Glad Tidings Publishing Association
I reN)rt on the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2023 which are s¢t out on page 3 - 4.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's tnjstees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2)
of the Chariti¢s Act 1993 (the A¢l)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act),
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act), and
to state whether particular matters have comc to my attention.
Basis of the findependent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presenl¢d 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 provid¢ all the
evidence that would be required in an audiL and consequently no opinion is given as to whether
the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in
the statement below.
Independent examkner's statement
tn the course of my examinatio￿ no matter has come to my attention:
which give me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respecL the
r¢quirements"
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the ACL and
to prepare accowits which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act. have not been met. or
2. to Whic￿ in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the acco
to be reached.
