Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Studland Village Hall

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Studland Village Hall for the year ended 31[st] December 2024.

This report is in respect of my examination of the Hall’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In this examination I have followed all the applicable directives given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe that in any material aspect:

1. Accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. The accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other significant matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Footnote: The situation regarding the previous treasurer raises a few points for the new treasurer to consider. Firstly, the bank statement’s balance at the end of the year should be reconciled to the bank balance shown in the accounts. Secondly, I support the new treasurer’s desire to keep more paper records. Thirdly I noted the omission of £300 hall rental income in September, although the annual total was correct and the item was in the bank statement. Finally, there was a large change over the prior year in Cleaning Materials. The treasurer should follow this up.
