BAS]5 of IndeptndeDt ExAminer's TEport
My examination was cArried out in accord8rKe with the General Dire¢tion giv¢n by the Charity
Commi$5ioners. An eXaMi￿tion ineludes a review of thc accounting records kept by the charity
8nd a comparison of the a¢counts presented with those records. It also include5 considerAtion of
any unusual items or disclosure in th¢ accounts and seckin8 explanations from you &$ tnistees
¢on¢eming any such rnatt￿s. The pro¢edur¢ undertaken does not provide all the ￿Idence that
would be required in an ￿ld]l and con5quently I do not express an audit opinion on the view
v¢n by the accounts.
Independent Exarnlner's Stst¢mtnt
In conncction with rny examinatiw no matters wme to my attention..
Which gives me reasonable Cause to ￿lieve that any mE4teria] T¢spects the rwuircm¢nts'.

To PTq)are a¢counts which accord with the acwuniing records and cimiply with the
accounting requirements of thc Charities A¢t 2016. have not been mei, or
To which my opinion, attention should be drawn in order ¢0 enabl¢ a proper
Unde￿andin8 of the acLount$ to be Teached.
