INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TAMWORTH MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANY
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023, as set out on pages 2,3 & 4
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND THE EXAMINER
The Charities Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. 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 required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
1) Examine the Financial Statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
2) To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5) of the 2011 Act); and
-
3) To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS 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 a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements 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 no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters in the statements below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep the accounting records in accordance with section 13 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met
OR
To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
Signed: Stephen Ball
