THE BARTONS VICTORY MEMORIAL HALL FUND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2023 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ## THE BARTONS VICTORY MEMORIAL HALL FUND I report on the accounts of the Fund for the year ended 30th November 2023, which are set out on pages 2 to 5. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** As the Charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities 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 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 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 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: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and that comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities 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.
