. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commisslon under
the Charities Act- and
to state whether partI￿lar matters have come to our attention.
Basls of Independent examlner's report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity
Cornmission. An examination included a review of the accounting record5 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
con￿MIng any such mallers. 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 'lrue and fair view. and the rewrt is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent statement
In wnnection with our examinatK)n, no matter has come to our attention=
1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material repect the requirements:
. to keep accounting records in accordance with the Charities Act., and
. to prepare account5 which accord with the accounting records and ¢omply with the accounliThJ
requirements of the Charities Ac( have not been met.. or
2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
