## **Independent Examiner's Report to St Benedict's Parochial Church Council, Glinton**
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2025.
As members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and you 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 needed.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and state whether any particular matters have come to my attention. 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 PCC 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 the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion of the accounts.
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
