## Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees Of Whitby Merchant Seamen’s Hospital Houses 

We report on the financial accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 on pages 3 to 8. 

## Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner 

As described on page | the Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of Financial Accounts. It is our responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act) and state any particular matters that have come to our attention. 

## Basis of independent examiner’s statement 

Our examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions 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 items 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 no opinion is given 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention 

| | 

1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: ° to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

° to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 

2. to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
