It is my responsibility to

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items and disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently | do not express an opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention

  1. Which give me reasonable case to believe that in any material respect the requirements

  2. e To keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011Act; or

  3. e To prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or

  4. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
