Treasurer For and on behalf of the Executive Committee 2 23[rd] Bath (Avonvale) Scout Group Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 ## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of 23[rd] Bath (Avonvale) Scout Group** I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 4 to 6. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** As the Charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993, (the Act), does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners under section 42(7)(b) of the Act, 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 trustees 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 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting records of the Act have not been met; or - (2)to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
