## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
**TO THE TRUSTEES OF BOURNEMOUTH UNIT 49 OF THE SEA CADET CORPS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023**
## Respective responsibilities of the 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 for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
## It is our responsibility to:
- examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Charities Act)
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## Basis of independent examiner’s statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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 connection 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 section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
