Independent examinerfs report to the Trustees of The Rawcllffe Recreation Association
I report on the accounls of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The ¢harity's trustees
consider that an audil is not required for this year under section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011
(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the General Directions given by the Charty
Commission under section 145(5}{b) of the 2011 Act,. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examinerfs report
My examination was carrred out in accordan￿ with the General DireclÈons 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 the seeking of explanations from you as
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
eviden￿ that would be required in an audit and, consequendy no opinion is given as to whether
the accounls present a 'true and fair view and the report is limited tr• those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent examinerfs slatement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my altention..
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any mateftal 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 Ihe
accounting requirements ofthe 2011 Act have not been mel.. or
(2) to which. in my opinion, attenlion should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.
