WORLD TEAM UK INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

Year Ended 31 December 2020

To the Trustees of

WORLD TEAM UK

I report on the accounts of the World Team UK for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out on the attached SOFA which have been prepared on the basis on the accounting policies stated on SOFA.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees of the World Team UK are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, they consider that the audit requirement under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

  1. examine the accounts under Section 145 (a) of the Charities Act 2011

  2. follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission made under Section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011

  3. 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 by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the World Team UK 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

The Charity’s gross income is less than £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination

.

Independent Examiner’s Report

Based on my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect,

  1. accounting records have not been kept in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act, or

  2. that the accounts presented do not accord with those records, or

  3. that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirement of the 2011 Act or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

No matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which in my opinion attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
