The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 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 applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) and the Act, 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 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 items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as 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 next statement. 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 accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities act or The accounts did not accord with the accounting records I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to obtain a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
