ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF THE YEAR
The Charity's principal activities are those of receiving donations and payments from Lions Clubs in District 105A and distributing them as nominated to Lions Clubs International, Multiple District 105 and District 105A initiatives. Details of funds received and disbursed are set out in Note 2 of the attached accounts.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are required by law to prepare accounts for each of the financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of the results for the year then ended.
In preparing those accounts, the Trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and apply them on a consistent basis, making judgments and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The Trustees must also prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its operations.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 1993.
The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT 105A CHARITABLE TRUST
We report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30th June 2023, which are set out on Pages 4 and 5
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our 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) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiner's report
Our 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 connectioin with our examination, no matter has come to our attention;
-
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the acounts to be reached
