Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of the

2[nd] Whitton Scout Group

We report on the accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Receipt and Payments Account and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees for our examination work.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Group's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They 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);

• To 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 my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's report

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 Group 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 explanation s 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 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 my examination, no matter has come to our attention:

1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirement s of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

1. to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
