We report on the accounts of the above for the year ended 30th September 2023, which are set out on page 3 to 5.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity's Trustees, you are responsible for the accounts; you consider that the audit requirements of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act), as amended by s.28 of the Charities Act 2006, does not apply. It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, as amended, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
Our examinations were carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of accounting records kept by the charity 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
(a) Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
(i) proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and
(ii) accounts are prepared which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
(b) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts have been reached.
