In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the charity are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with FRS 102 SORP 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) (The SORP) published by the Charities Commission in England & Wales (CCEW), effective January 2016, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8, which framework constitutes the applicable UK GAAP.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As described on page 4, you, the charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. The Trustees also consider the charity to be exempt from the requirement to be subject to Independent Examination.
Our responsibility is to prepare accounts upon the basis of the information supplied to us, without conducting any formal scrutiny.
No statement of opinion
We have not carried out any audit procedures and have relied upon information supplied to us by the Trustees, and the information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently we do not express an audit or other assurance opinion on the view given by the accounts.
