The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is required. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act. - To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Act. - State whether any particular matters have come to my attention. ## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT** My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records: I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in the report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
