## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of**
## **Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve**
## **For the Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011(‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trustee’s accounts (which comprise the receipts and payments accounts and statement of assets and liabilities) carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
