The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. ~~[The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [named body]].~~ _Delete_ [ ] _if not applicable._ ## It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** - 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 the 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 statement below. **December 2017** 1 **IER** **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention ( ~~other than that disclosed below~~ *) which gives me 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; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. - _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ **Signed: Date:** 7/09/2023 **Name:** Julian Lewin **Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any):** **Address:** 158 Albert Avenue, Prestwich Manchester, M25 0HE ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **December 2017** 2 **IER** **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . **December 2017** 3 **IER**
