applicable Direclions given by the Charity Commission under section 14515llbl of the 2011 Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required In an
audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinlon
on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance
that an independent examination can provide. Consequently we express no opinion a5 to whether the
rinancial statements present a 'true and fairf view and our report is limited to those specific matters
Set out in the independent examinerfs statement.
