FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31° MAY 2021

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLAXTON VILLAGE
HALL
This report on the financial statements of the Claxton Village Hall Account for the year ended 3151
May 2021, which are sel out on the attached three pages. is in respect of an examination carried
out in accordance wf(h sectKsn 145 of the Charities Act 2011 I'the Act,).
Raspoctive Responsibilities of Truste8$ and the Examiner
As trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that
an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent
examination is needed.
It is my responsibilfty to
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Acl..
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Direclions given by the Charity
Commission under section 14951{b) of the Act.. and
to slate whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examinerfs Ststement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Direction5 given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a rewew of the accounting records kept by the Committee
and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those record5. 11 also includes
nsideration ol any unusual items or dI￿10$￿re$ in Ihe financial statemenls and seeking
explanations from you as members of the Committee conceming 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 lo whether the financial ststemenls present a 'lrue and fair"
vtew and the rekx)rt is limited to those matters set out in the ststement below.
Independent Examinerfs Stslement
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
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act." and
to prepare financial ststements which accord with the accounting records and
comply the a¢counling requirements of the Act
have not been mel,. Of
to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawm in order to enable a proper
understsnding of the financial slalements to be reached.
