Basis of independent My examination was carried oul in accordance with general Directions given
examiner's statsment by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of Ihe
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of Ihe accounts
presented with those records. It also includes 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.
Independent In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my
examlner's statement attention lolher than that disclosed below ') which gives me cause to believe
