## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Brighton & Hove U3A**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2023 which are set out on pages 2 to 3.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner.**
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) although an examination is required by the Charity’s Constitution.
It is my responsibility to
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement**
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 seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full 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 matters have come to my attention.
1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
