INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES** - 1.1. The Internal Audit Section of Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council has been appointed to perform the external scrutiny of the annual return for the charity “Ebbw Vale Recreation Grounds & Institute”. This engagement will cover the annual return for the financial year 2023/24. - 1.2. The audit was carried out with the assistance of, and in full consultation with, the Business Partner Finance for the purpose of the submission. ## **2. SCOPE OF THE AUDIT** - 2.1. The internal audit section has performed an external scrutiny engagement as prescribed by the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. - 2.2. This involved confirming that the accounts prepared by the Accountancy Section within Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council are true and fair by performing substantive testing and discussions with relevant persons using the directions mentioned above. ## **3. AUDIT RESPONSIBILITES AND BASIS OF REPORT** - 3.1. The charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). - 3.2. I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **4. INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT AND CONCLUSION** - 4.1. I have completed my examination.
