e examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act); ¢ — to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners(under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act);and
-
e to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners .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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
