Respethe responslbllities of Trustees and examiner
The charlvs Trustees are resp)nslble for the weparation of the acC(￿nts. The tharftvs Trust£es consider that
an audit is not required for this year (u￿r sedion 144(2) of the Charilies Act 2011 {the 2011 Att)) and that
an Independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to.
examine the accounts (urKler seLtion 145 of the 2011 Att);
to follow the procedures laid down in the G￿rdI DIr￿t￿￿ts giva) ty the Chaiity Commlssioners
(under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Att). and
to state whether partiojlar matters have cDme to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carrled out in accordan￿ Mih the Generdl DirectTons grven by the Charity
Commissioners. An examlnation indudes a review of the accountlng records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with th(tse reLords. It aL￿ i￿ludeS consideration of any unusual ilyns
or disdosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trus1￿$ Con￿mIng any such matters.
The procedures uThJertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audi¢ and
consequentty I do not exp￿ an audit opinion on the view glven by the accounts.
Independent examlnerfs statemeijt
In connection wth my examinatlon, no matter h&8 come to my attenti¢)n:
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any materlal * the requirements
to k&p accounting records in accorilance with sth 130 of the 2011 A¢. and
to prepare accounts which accord with trE accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act
have not b￿n rnet.
(2) In my oplnlon, in connection wlth the Indep￿￿￿nt Examlnatton of the accounts attentlon should be dt7wn
to the fdlowing:
Durfng the year, the number of Trust￿ fell below the minimum number required by the CharfLVs
Conskntution but the Charty was still quorate in relation to deasion making.
