Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of RISCA MALE CHOIR I report on the accounts of the Risca Male Choir for the year ended 31 March 2024 that arè sel out on pages 1 to R08ponslbllftloB and ba81• of r•port The charivs trustees are responstble for the weparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 {'the Act.). The trustees are sali8fied that the accounts are rvjt ruIred by chafty law to be audited arxj have chosen instead to have an independenl examination. I report in respect of ry 8X8mination of Rigca Mal8 Choirfs accounts carri8d out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in ¢arying out my examination I have followed all the applicable DIr110nS given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. Independent •xamlnor's statemont I have compl8ted my examination. I confirni that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe Ihat in any material respect: Accounting records were not kept in respect of Risca Male Choir as required by sectron 130 01 ts Act.. Tho accounts thi not accord wth those fecx>rds As the 2023 a£counts at this time have not been submilted to the Charrties Commission. and given that I did not CLYnplete the Independent Review in the previous year, I have been unable to confirm that the comparative fwufes in the accounls are accurate. I have been provided wrth the signed Independent Examiner's ReFort for th8 y8ar ended 31 March 2023 which contsins no areas of concem. and for that reason I hav8 no cause to doubt the comparative figures provided by the Treasurer. and will accept his assurances on them for the purposes of this review. I have no other concerns and have come across rK• other matters in connaclion with the examination lo which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in this report in order to énab16 a prOr undèrstandiNJ of the Accounts to bo reached 21tr Independent Reviéwér..
