Re5PCCtii't r￿ponsibIlItIeS oftn15tCC5 and clamlner
Th¢ ¢haril)' 5 trustees are r¢wnsible for ihc prcpardlion of ihe accounts. The charity's trustees consider
that an audit is not requir¢d for this l'ear und¢r scction 144(2) of ihe Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and
that an indcpendenl eumination is n¢¢dcd.
It is my responsibility lo..
examine the a¢counls (under section 145 of the 2011 A¢l)'
follom. Ihe procedures laid doii'n in ihe General Directiorts Eiven by the Charity Cornmi5sioners
(under section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 A¢t)' and
stste M"hether particular matters have come lo my attention.
Basis of iDdependent examiner's sIAttmeDt
My examination wa5 carried Ollt in accordan¢¢ with the General Directions given by the Charity
Comrnission. An examination includes a wiew of the a¢¢ounting records kept by the charity and a
omparison of the accounts p￿sented with those re￿rds. It also includes ¢onsiderdtion of anv unusual
iieTn5 or disclosures in the accounts. and 5¢cking explanations from you as trnstees ¢on¢¢ming anv such
matters. The procedures undertak¢n do not provid¢ all the evidence that would required in an audiu and
consequenily no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a *tu¢ and fair view" and the report is
limited to those maners sei out in the ￿terneD1 below.
IDdependent examiner's statement
In connection wlth my examinatio￿ no maitrr ha5 come to my attention:
which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material res￿¢1 ihe requirem¢nts
lo kttp a￿oUntIng ￿ordS in accordance wilh section130 of the ?01 I ACL and
to prepare ac¢ouniS which accord iviih ihe accouniing rwords and to comply ￿'1(h the
aw)unling requirements of ih¢ 2011 Act
have not been m¢l' or
2. 10 which, in my opinion. attention should drawn in order to enabl¢ a proper undersranding of the
