Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiners

As the Charity's Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider that a n audit is not required for this year under part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is required. It is our responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, and to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b of the Charities Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records and comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial statements.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

  1. Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;

  3. to prepare financial statements which are in accordance with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the C h a r i t i e s Act
