The charity's bustees ¢onsider that an audit is not r¢quired for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent exauThtion is needed. It is my responsibility to.. examine the accounts undeT section 145 of the 2011 Act. to follow tbe procedures laid down in the oeneral Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and to state whether particular mallers have come to my attention. Basis of IndepeDdent Examiners Report My exarnination was Ca￿led out in accordaD¢e with the genera] Directions given by the Charity Con]tnission. An examÉnation iDcludes a review of the accountiDg Tecords kept by th¢ ¢harity and a ompartson 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 tnistees concerning any such matters. The procedures Imdertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequendy no opinion is given &8 to whether tbe accounts Present a 'lrne and fair view. and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Indepepdent Examiner's Statement In connection with my exarllination, no matter has come to my attention". (l) which give% me Teasonable cause to believe that in any material resp¢¢t the requirements: to keep accounting records in accor(lance with section 130 of the 2011 Act. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and cotnply with the ac¢ounting requiTements of the 2011 Act have not been MCL or (2) to which. in My opinion, attention should be drawn in OTdeT to enable a proper uuderstanding of th¢ accounts to be reached.
