statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), the

As trustees of the charitab'e company, you have a duty under the CA

annual report complying in Its form and content with regulations made
under the Charities Act 2011 (ChA 2011). You should also have regard
to the relevant Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and

$170-177, you are responsible for ensuring that the charitable company
complies with laws and regulations applicable to its activities, and for
establishing arrangements designed to prevent any non-compliance
with laws and regulations and to detect any that occur.
You are also responsible for determining whether, in respect of the
year, the charity meets the conditions for exemption from an audit set
out in the Cha 2011 and the CA 2006, namely that:
(a) no notice has been received from the Charity Commission requiring

whether that report shall be made and for appolnting us as reporting

other criteria set out above are met, you will need neither an audit nor

the charity's accounting records and related financial information,
including minutes of management and members' meetings, necessary
to carry out our work. You will make full disclosure to us of all relevant
Information.

2.1
We shall plan our work on the basis that an independent examiner's
report is required for the year, unless you inform us in writing that
either:
(a) the charity requires an audit of the financial statements; or
(b) the charity requires nelther an audit nor an independent
examiner's report.
2.2
Should you instruct us to carry out an audit, then the terms of that
assignment will be dealt with in a new engagement letter. Shoult you
inform us that the charity requires neither an audit nor an independent
examiner's report, then we shall have no responsibilities to the charity,
except those specifically agreed upon between us in respect of other
professional services.
2.3
As independent examiners, we have a statutory responsibility to report
to the members of the charity whether, in our opinion,
there is
reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect:
(a) adequate accounting records have not been kept, contrary to the
requirements of the CA 2006;
(b) the financial statements do not agree with those accounting
records; or
(c) the financial statements do not comply with any of the accounting
requirements specified in the Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 (SI 200B/629), Regulation 4 (or 5 for common

true and fair view.

2.4
2.5
Should our work Indicate that the charity is not entitled to exemption
from an audit of the financial statements then we will inform you. In
such circumstances, we will not issue any report and will withdraw from
the engagement to prepare an independent examiner's report,
notifying you in writing of the reasons. In these circumstances, If
appropriate, we will discuss with you the possibility of appointing us as
auditors.
We have a professional responsiblity not to allow our name to be
associated with financial stasements that are, or may be, misleading.
Therefore, although we are not required to search for such matters.
should we become aware, for any reason, that the financial statements
are, or may be, misleading, if the matter cannot be adequately deak
with by means of qualifying our opinion for by other appropriare
modifications of the report), we will not issue any report. In such
dircumstances, we will withdraw from the engagement, and will notify
you in writing of the reasons. In these circumstances you agree that we
have a right to invoice you for our time spent examining the financial
statements and for time spent on any other work that is not completed
as a result of our resignation.

Accordingly, we will not obtain any independent evidence relating to

examiners will not provide any assurance that the accounting records
or the financial statements are free from material misstatement
whether caused by fraud, other Irregularity or error.
2.10 Because we will not carry out an audit, nor otherwise confirm the
accuracy or reasonableness of the accounting, records maintained by
the charity, we will be unable to provide any assurance as to whether
the financial statements that we prepare from those records give a true
