It is my duty to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations. ## **Basis of this report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7) (B) of the Act. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Trustees and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent Examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations have not been met; or (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
