## **Independent Examiner's Report**
**Charity Name:** London Schools' Cricket Association
## **Charity Registration Number:** 303325
**Financial Year Ended:** 31 December, 2023
Taxaccolega Chartered Accountants was appointed as the independent examiner for the charity during the year and has confirmed its willingness to continue in this role. This report covers the financial statements for the period from 1st January 2023 to 31st December 2023.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The trustees of the charity, who are also its directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for ensuring that financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The trustees have determined that the charity does not require a full audit under the applicable law but is eligible for independent examination, based on the income and asset thresholds set out in the Charities Act 2011. As the independent examiner, it is my responsibility to:
- Conduct an examination of the accounts in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.
- Follow the Directions and guidance issued by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
- Report on any matters arising that should be brought to the attention of the trustees or the public.
## **Basis of Independent examiner’s report**
My examination was conducted in line with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity Commission's guidelines. It involved:
- Reviewing the charity's accounting records.
- Comparing the financial statements against the records kept.
- Seeking explanations from the trustees where necessary regarding unusual or significant entries.
This examination is less extensive than an audit and does not provide the same level of assurance. Consequently, I do not express an opinion on whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view,’ but my findings are limited to the following statements.

## **Independent examiner’s statement**
Based on my examination, no issues have come to my attention that would:
- Lead me to believe that the charity has not kept proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or that the financial statements do not align with those records or fail to comply with section 396 of the Companies Act 2006.
- Suggest that further details are required to ensure the financial statements provide an accurate and complete understanding, in accordance with the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing accounts on an accruals basis.
