## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Grantham and District Scout Council** 

I report on the accounts of the District for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprises the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the Statement of Financial Activities and related notes. 

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees for my examination work. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The District’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 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 procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- To state 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 District 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 in 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 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
