trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the

$eetion 145{5} Ibl of the Charities Ad ).
State whether particular matters have come lo my att8nlion.
Basis 01 Independent Examinerfg Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charty
Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accc)unting records kept by the charity and a
t￿mpariSON of the accounts presented with those fecords. It also includes consideration of any unu$ual
items or disclosures in the a￿)unt$,and seeking explanations from you as Iruslees concerning any $ueh
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be requifed in an audit,
and tA)nsequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Indopfrndent Exarnin?￿s Statement
In ¢onnection with my examination. no material matters have come lo my attention which gives me cause
to believe that in. any material respect..
{11 the accounting reeords were not kept in aceordance with section 130 of the Charities Act.. or
121 the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
131 the accounts did not ¢omply with the applicable requirements concerning the fomi and ¢onlent
of the ac¢ounls out in the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 olhef than any
requirement that the accounts give a 'lrue and faif view, which is not a matter considered as part
of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be
drawn in this report in order to enable a proper undeislanding of the ac¢ounls to be reached.
