Quigley – Accountant** ## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees** ## **of the** ## **Bartestree, Dormington and Lugwardine Village Hall** I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are set out on pages 2 to 4. ## **Respective Responsibilities of trustees and examiner** As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7) of the Act, 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 as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **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 41 of the Act, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and comply with the accounting requirements of the 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.
