## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF POLESWORTH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION** 

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2021, which are set out on pages 2 to 5. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under  Section144  (1  and  2)  of  the  Charities  Act  2011  and  that  an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to:- 

- examine the accounts (under section 145 (1)(a) of the 2011 Act); 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5) of the 2011), and 

- 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 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, the trustees, concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an  audit, and consequently no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **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 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with 

the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.

## **Independent Examiners Report on the Polesworth Community Association and 200 Club** 

## **1. Introduction:** 

This  examination  was  undertaken  to  provide  assurance  that  the appropriate  systems  of  control  are  in  place  to  ensure  the  proper management  of  the  PCA  and  200  Club.  The  report  is  based  on information and documentation supplied by the PCA and 200 Club. 

## **2. Procedures:** 

The procedure applied has been to work through the documents and bank statements provided to check the details for accuracy. 

## **3. Conclusions:** 

The arrangements in place are generally sound and provide a high degree  of  assurance  that  the  appropriate  systems  of  control  are satisfactory. The only issue noted is that there is one un-cashed prize cheque from 2020 and three un-cashed prize cheques from 2019. A decision needs to be taken by the 200 club committee as to whether the individuals need to be contacted and replacement cheques issued or simply cancelled and the funds returned into the accounts in 2022. It may be  worth the committee  taking a decision  for future prize payout cheques to set a time limit for the cheques to be cashed (e.g. 6 months) and if not the prize winnings to be forfeited and returned to the, 200 club accounts to fund other works and activities. 



In the current year there were 13 prize cheques un-cashed, although only four were older than 6 months. 

This would remove to growing numbers of un-cashed cheques at the end of each year. 

## **4. Recommendations:** 

The only recommendations are:- 

- that the procedures regarding prize cheques not cashed for previous year’s winners be dealt with as detailed above in section 3,  and 

- that procedures are put in place to deal with future prize winners cheques as detailed above in section 3.
