Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material aspect, the requirements:
-
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
