A description of the Para 1.46 Following the pandemic, the
committee has decided against
principal risks facing the
further expansion keeping money in

reserve should something occur to
limit our operation. The hall cannot
rely on local authority grants should
it be forced to close its doors
temporarily for any reason. The
committee has insurance against
temporary closure, but this was not
recognised by insurance company
during the pandemic and therefore
the committee have acted to ensure
it is protected. Lack of volunteers
has also proved problematic. A lack
of volunteers could make it difficult
to organize events such as Garage

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO
CAPEL-LE-FERNE VILLAGE HALL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE – CHARITY NUMBER 281786
ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
As Trustees of the charity, the Committee are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) 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 STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
