Responslbllhles basls of report As (tharfty trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in a(xordance fjth the requirèments of the Charities Act 2011 Ad). You are salisfied that an audit is not required ft>r this year under tharity law and that an independent examinatron Is needed. I report in respect Df my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carying out my examination I have folkmpd all the applicable Directions gT¥en by the Charity C¢xnmisslon under saction 145(5Xb) of the Acl. An independent exam1r￿tiOn does not involve gathemg all the eviderK that would be required n an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving thotr opinK)n on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assuran￿ that an irKlependent examination can provide. Consequently, l express no oplnion as to whether the acKounts present a arKI fail view and my report is lifflited to those speafjc matters set out In the Independent examin8rfB statemerrt.
