## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Margaret Harker Hall and Blofield Memorial Ground Committee**
I report on the accounts of the Margaret Harker Hall and Blofield Memorial Ground for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 which are set out on pages 4 to 8.
## **Respective responsibilities of committee and examiner**
The charity’s management committee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s management committee consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts (under section 43(3) (a) of the 1993 Act);
- to follow the procedures laid down on the General Directions given by the Charity commissioners (under section 43(7) (b) of the 1993 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s 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 the committee 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 an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 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.
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
