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 the seeking of 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts ## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention : - 1) which either gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements have not been met as follows ; - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord to the accounting records and which comply with the accounting requirements of the Act - 2) or, to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Name : Miss H M Perham – For CRW Accountants Ltd Qualifications : BA (hons), FAIA, CPA, FMAAT, ATT(Tax) Address : CRW Accountants Ltd The Mews Queen Street Colyton Devon EX24 6JU** **Date :** **2nd October 2024** ## **The Douglas Martin Trust Balance Sheet For the year ended 5th April 2024** |Current Assets
