The Cha rity's trustees consider that an audit is notrequ ired for this year lu nder section 43121 of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: l. Examine the accounts (under section 43131 of the 1993 Act),. 2. To follow the procedure laid down in the General Direction5 given by the Charity Com missioners (under section 4317llbl of the 1993 Act). and 3. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Inde enden Examiners, Re ort My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Cha rlty Commissioners, An examination includes a review of the accounts records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also include5 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accou nts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees oncerning ar)y such matters. The proceedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be requ ired in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Inde endent Examiners Statement In connection with my wxamination, no matter has come to my attention: I, 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 1993 Act. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not yet met; or 2. to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in orderto enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
