The **responsibilities of** charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 **trustees and examiner** 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, • 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** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the **examiner’s statement** 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. In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) **Independent** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the **examiner's statement** requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and • 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. * _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ **Signed:** R A Fogg **Date:** 10/08/2023 **Name:** R A Fogg **Relevant professional** A.C.A. **qualification(s) or body (if any): Address:** 98 Erddig Road Wrexham LL13 7DR **CIB Accounts April 2023** **IER** 1 **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material problems. **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . **CIB Accounts April 2023** **IER** 2
