The Charity Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention which gives me 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 accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met or - To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
