Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of:Harrogate Competitive Festival for Music, Speech & Drama
This Report is for the period ended 30/4/25
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011(the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my 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 Charity Act), and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out 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 conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by 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
-
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 Charities Act, -to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met:
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
-
[have not obtained independent verification of investment/bank balances.
