Resposibilities Of The Treasurer And Trustees For The Accounts Of The Association:
The Treasurer is responsible for keeping proper Accounts of the finances of the Association. Section 32 of The Charities Act 1960 requires all charity trustees to prepare consecutive statements of Accounts consisting of an Income And Expenditure Account for a period not exceeding 15 months, and a Balance Sheet relating to that period.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Association and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other irregularities.
In preparing those Accounts, the Trustees are required to:-
Give particulars of the assets of the charity, distinguishing those forming part of the permanent endowment and other assets.
State the approximate amount of liabilities.
State the amounts of receipts and payments during the period, distinguishing between permanent endowment receipts and payments, and others.
We certify that The enclosed Accounts of the Association, set out on pages 1 To 6 above, are a true and fair representation of the Income and Expenditure of the Association for the year ended 31 December 2022, and of the Assets and Liabilities of the Association as at that date, and that no circumstances have arisen, or events occurred, between the Balance Sheet date and this report, in respect of any matters which would require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the Accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Report To The Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022.
We report on the Accounts of the Sturminster Community Association for the Year Ended 31 December 2022, set out on pages 1 To 6 above.
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 disclosures in the accounts, and seeking 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met.
