Respectlve rgsponsibilities of trustees and examlner
As the trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts., you consider that the
audit requirements of section 144 of the Charities Act 20111 the 2011 A¢V'I do not apply and that an

Commissioners (under section5 14515llbl of the 2011 Act)., and
lo state whether particular matters have come lo my attention.
Basls of independent examiner's report

Commissioners under section 145151{bl of the 2011 Act. That examination includes a review of the
accounting records kepl by the charity and a comparison ol the accounts wslh those records.11 also
includes consi¢Jersng any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations Irom you
as Iruslees concerning any such mallers. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit. and consequendy I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the
accounts.

accounting requirements of the 2011 Act.
