## **THE JOHN LUCY TRUST (Reg. Charity no. 528686)** 

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE JOHN LUCY TRUST 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the Year Ended 5[th] April 2022, which are set out on the following pages. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustee and Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities 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 direction given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting 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 of the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts show ‘a true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

In connection with my examination of the accounts for this year, no matter has come to my attention 

1. that gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

   - a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - b) to prepare accounts that accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or, 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a full and proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
