The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 14515)I b} of the Charitie5 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 ar)y 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. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention(other than that disclosed below) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met'or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached John A Hyde Hyde House 19 Station Road Addlestone Surrey K215 2AL JOH. • ¥[ Date and signed on its behalf by 28" 325
