Independent Examiner's Report
Accounting Policies
To the members of the Parochial Church Council of St Luke Great Ilford
This report on the accounts of the PCC for the year ended 31 December 2007 which are set out on pages 5 to 10, is in respect of an examination carried out under Regulation 3(3) of the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (the regulations) and s.43 of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act).
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 3(3) and section 43(2) of the Act do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of Regulation 25.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act and to be found in the Church guidance, 2006 edition. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the PCC and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act, and the Regulations have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
