INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
COL-RENO LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 5[th] April 2025, which are set out on pages 2 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of governors and examiner
The governors (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's governors consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 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, 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 to indicate that:
-
accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records:
-
the accounts comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 or a not consistent with the Charites SORP (FRS102)
-
any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
