It is our responsibility 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.

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 or disclosures in the accounts, 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 view given by the accounts.

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 . to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and . to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
