THE REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE MEMBERS OF ROTARY CLUB OF CHISLEHURST BENEVOLENT
FUND
report on the Financial Statements for the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2025, which ar
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner
he Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Charit¢s rust
consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993
that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the financial statements (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act);
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act), and to
state whether matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examinerfs 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 the 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 a
audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
Statement of the Independent Examiner
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 following requirements have not
been met:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act,
and
to prepare Financial Statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 1993 Act.
or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
Financial Statements to be reached.
