Independent Examiner's Report to tbe trusttts of Real Tilne Video Limited ('the
Compally,)
I report to the charity tr￿SteeS on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March
2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's tr￿Ste¢S of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are
responsible for th¢ preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006
('the 2006 Act,).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the
2006 Act and are eligible for independent examiDatioTL I report in re5pe¢t of my examination of your cknity's
accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act,). In carrying out my
examination I have ftbllowed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5Xb) of the
2011 Act.
An independent examinatton does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and
consequently does not cover all the matters that an a￿ditOr ¢onsider5 in giving their opinion on the accounts. The
planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the ]imited assufdnce that aD independent examination can
provide. Consequently l express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view and my
report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner's statement.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my exarnination. I confirn that no matters have come to tny attention in connection with the
examination giving me cause to believe:
l. accounting r¢cords were not kept in respect of Real Time Video Limited as required by s¢ction 386 of the
2006 Act. or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records" or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than
any requiretnent that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an
iTtdependent exaMin￿10n. or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of
Recommended Practice for accounting and reporti￿[￿ by chartties lapplicabl¢ to charities preparing their
a￿oUnts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland {FRS 102)].
I have no Con
Should be
and have come acro55 no other matters in connection with th¢ examination to which attention
in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reacbcd.
