to stale whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of indepondent My examination was carried out in accordanGe with general Directions given
examinerfs statement by th8 Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of th8
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 the
trustees conceming 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 fairf view and the raport 18 limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act- and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with Ihe accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met. or
