As described on page 3, the Charity`s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the accounts comply with the statement of Recommended Practice issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective April 2007), on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts.

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of our work as detailed above, in connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:-
1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met or
2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
