Respertlve responslbllltles of trustees and examiner The trustees (who are also the direttors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under settion 145 of the 2011 Att. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Att; and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basls of Independent examlnerfs report My examination was carrled out In accordance with the 8eneral Directlons given by the Charlty Commlsslon. 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 audlt 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. Independent examlnerfs statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respert the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and princlples of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or {2) to which, In my oplnion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understandlng of the accounts to be reached.
