HOCKLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE TRUSTEES OF HOCKLEY COMMUNITY CENTRE ASSOCIATION
We have examined the accounts of Hockley Community Centre Association for the year ended 31 August 2025 on pages 2 to 4.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the act)) but an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
1) Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the Act);
-
2) Follow the procedure laid down In the General Directions given by the charity Commissioners (under section 43(7) of the Act); and
-
3) State whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiners statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 disclosure in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and concequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1) the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
2) the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
3) 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
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
