Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of The Beatrice Drewe Trust

Charity number 305314

Report on the Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021

The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity Trustees 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 of the 1993 Act;

to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and

to state whether particular matters come to my attention.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general direction given by the Charity Commission. 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 terms or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently my opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view of the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

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 41 of the 1993 Act,

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the account to be reached.
