Independent examiner’s report to the trustees and ofcers of the Rotary Club of Newent & District
(Registered Charity No. 900359)
Year ended 30 June 2025.
The Rotary Club of Newent & District is a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission, and is therefore eligible for gift aid claims, exemption from Corporation Tax on bank interest, and charity VAT reliefs.
As a charity with an annual income of between £10,000 and £25, 000, a summary of the annual figures is reported to the Charity Commission, but there is no requirement to file the Financial Statement itself, or a Trustees Annual Return or an Independent Examiner’s report thereon, however an independent examination is required by RIBI, irrespective of the £25,000 exemption.
With respect to the General Account financial statement (which is not part of the Charity Commission return), I am satisfied as to the correctness of the figures.
With respect to the Charity Account financial statement, owing to the nature of the sources of revenue (including street bucket collections), it is not possible to certify their correctness, however I have not encountered anything to suggest that they are not correct and I am satisfied that the charitable disbursements are correct.
In view of the recent significant increase in charitable income resulting from the club’s involvement in the BBC Children in Need campaign, I recommend that the trustees and officers of the club implement further internal control procedures, whilst recognising that the nature of these charitable revenues does not always lend itself to comprehensive documentation.
