Statement of Trustees' responsibilities For the Period Ended 30 September 2020.

Charity law requires to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those Financial Statements the Trustees are required to:

a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently:

b) Make judgments and estimates that are responsible and prudent;

c) State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with SORP2000 and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements;

d) Prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue operating.

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 Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

Reporting accountants report to the Trustees of Meopham Village Hall

For the Period Ended 30 September 2020.

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 30 September 2020 which are set out on pages 6 to 10.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND REPORTING ACCOUNTANT

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 does not apply. It is my 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 Charities Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

BASIS OF REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

My 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 I do not express any audit opinion on the view given by the Accounts.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

a) To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Charities Act 1993; and

b) To prepare Accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.

have not been met, or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
