Investment Policy
The management conunittee has concluded that funds be held in a manner that allows higher liquidity and has sought to
place surplus funds on short temi deposits with established banking institutions in the UK offering best interest rates.
Risk Review
The management committee has conducted ils own review of the major risks to which the charity is likely to be exposed
and feels that no major external threats exist. Internal risks are minimised by implementation of procedures of
authorisation of all transaclions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the
society. The procedures are monitored and periodically reviewed by the trustees to ensure that they continue to meet the
societv's needs.
Trustees ResponsibiIities

year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of the results for that year. In preparing
these the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed. subject to any Material departures being disclosed
- prepare the financial statements on going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the society will

the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financAal statements comply with the Charities
Act 1993.They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Ch￿lty and hence for taking reasonable steps for tTr

Respective respoTrsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for th¢ preparation of the accounis. The charity's trustees consider that an audit
is Thot required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) but an independent

41(7)Ih) nf thp. 1993 Ae.t. Ana
(c) state whether particular matters have corne 10 my allention.
Basis of independent examination
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 ltell￿ or disclosures in th¢ accounts, and
seeking explanations frorn the trustees concerning any such matters. The procdures undertaken do not provide all
the evidence that would be required in an audiL 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 statemeni below.
Independent E￿￿mIner'S Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in. any material respecL the requirements.
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with 5¢ction 41 of the 1993 Act; and
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of
the 1993 Act have not been met . or
2. to which. in my opinion, att¢Thtion should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
