rxL.ICtit, VVTrTt; Working in Partnership WWw.8udih?.Sf rn Ljk Bath and North East Somerset Council The Alice Park Trust 2021122 Accounts- Independent Examinerfs Report To confirni, I have: examined the OUnts under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act. followed the procedures laid down in thp. gp.neral Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. stated whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of my examinerfs report My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a rp.vip.w of the accounting records keptfor Alice Park 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 concerning any such matters. The objective of the review was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were accurate and free trom material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee deteGtioii ol a rnaLerial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually, or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Independent examiner'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 have not been met. Those such requirements were as follows.. to keep accounting records in accordants with section 130 of the 201 I Charities Act, and,. to prepare accounts which &cord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Charities Act. From my examination of the records, it is my opinion that I can provide reasonable assuranc6 that the Alice Park Trust financial statements are free from material misstatement.
NOTE.. During my examination and through my liaison with those responsible for the maintaining the account of thc Alice Park Trust I concluded the following.. l. Alice Park Tru.?t has a gross income of less than £250,000 and is therefore entitled to prepare the accounts on a'Receipts and Payments" basis. corresponden with the Charity Commission received in January 2021 provided confirmab'on for the basis of preparation. 2. Any deficit at year end is funded from the Council's general fund, which is reflected as income in the Trusys accounts.
