The charity's trustees are reswnsible for the preparthn of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent e￿qmInatIon is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act:
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
CommÉssion under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act" and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent euminer's report
My examination was Carri￿ out in accordan(x with the General Directions given by the
ch￿lty Commissioners. An ekqmination includes a review of the accounting records kept by
the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
onsideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounty and seeking explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matteTS. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audiL and consequently I do not express an audit
opinton on the view givffl by the accounts.
Independent ￿￿miner'S statement
In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention:
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any mateiial respect the wuirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act. and
to prepare accounts wknch accord with the acwunting records and comply with the
accountmg requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met" or
