carrled out in accordance with s.43 of the Charities Act 1993 ('the Act"), as amended
by Section 28 of the Charities Act 2006.
Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner
As Trustees you are responsible for the preparation ot. financial statements. you
consider that the audit requirement of Section 43 (2) of the Act does not apply. It is
my responsibility to issue the report on those financial statements in accordance with
the tern]s of the Regulations, and to state whether particular matters have come to my
attention.
Basis of the Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the
Charity Commission under section 43 (7)b of the Act,. That examination includes a
review of the accounting records kept by the Trustees and a comparison of the
accounts with those records. It also includes considering any uiiusual itcms or
disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
evid¢nce that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not cxpress an
audit opinion on the view ￿Ven by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's .Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
i)
Which ￿VeS me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect
thc requirements
to kecp accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act:
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting
records and to comply with the requirements of th¢ Act and
Regulations
have not been met. or
2)
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the fLnancial stat￿nentS to be reached.
