Basig of independent examiner's statement
My exatnination was Carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examinatson includes a review of the accounting records
kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with tI￿se records. It
also includes consideration of any unusual ilems or disclosures in the accounts and
seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide ail the evidence that would be required in an audit and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
