## **Independent Examiners Report to The Trustees of Craven Arms Playing Fields Association**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] march 2025 that are set out on the attached pages.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The gross income of the trust is such that the accounts can be subject to independent examination and need not be subject to audit.
It is the responsibility of the independent examiner to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General directions given by the Charity Commissioners under The Charities Act 1993 section 43 (7) (b), whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiners’ 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 comparison of the account 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 Examiners’ statement.
In connection with my examination, the following matters have come to my attention :
1. The association made a surplus in the year of £ 9,057.36
|Income|£|48,385.10|
|---|---|---|
|Expenditure|£|39,327.80|
|Surplus|£|9,057.30|
2. The association has balances at 31[st] march 2025 of £ 31,061.64
The surplus this year has made a start to restoring the balances, which had been depleted in previous years. The Trustees should continue to monitor the balances and attempt to increase them over future years.
3. The Association has 469 shares in C.O.I.F coffee house fund which gives quarterly dividends to the Charity. The valuation of those shares has not traditionally been shown in the accounts but was £ 9,633.31 as at 28/02/25.
Please note that I am retiring this year and hence The Charity should appoint a new independent examiner for the financial year 2025/26 and thereafter.
