- malOwer Drive, Stoke Hill, Coventry. CV2 5NP 07 June 2021 Dear Trustees. Inter-arc Accounts I would like to Ihank you once again for the OPFrfXtunity to cary out the independent examination of Inter-arc accounts. Also. thanks to Howard Wallace for his assistance in darifying any queries which arose there from. Res eclive res onsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The charivs trustees consider that an audii is not required for Ihis year (under section 43 (2) of Ihe Charities Act 1993 (Ihe Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to= a) examine the accounts (under seclK)n 43 of the Act) b) lo follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions gNen by the Charities Commission (under seclion 43(7){b) of the Act) c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Inde ndent Examine¢s statement My examination was ¢affd out in accordance wtth General Directions gNen by the Chartties Commission. An examination includes a rewew of the accounting records kepi by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.11 also includes consideration of any unusual items or disdosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence Ihat would be required in an audit and consequentty I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. Inde ndent Examinels slatement In the course of my examination. no matter has come to my attention: a) which gwes me reasonable cause to believe that in any Material respect the trustees have not met the requiremenls to ensure thal= 1) proper accounting records are kept (in aCrdan with sectK)n 41 of the Act) 2) accounts are prepared which agree wrth the acLounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act. b) to which. in my opinion, attentK)n should be drawn in order to enable proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Yours sincerely. Andrew Varley Independent Examiner
