Respe¢tive responsibilities of trustees and examinor Thg charity's trustees are re5ponslOle for the preparation of accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility io Examine the accounts undcr aection 14a of the 2011 Act., To follow the prOrJUres laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 {5b) of the 2011 Act,. and To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independ•nt examiner's report My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented wilh those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seekin9 explanations fiom you as trustees r.oncerning any such matters. The pigGedures un¢Jertaken 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. Independent examiner's statement In connedion with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.. 1 Which gives m8 reasonable cause to believe that in any material respp.ct the requiiements.. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,- and b. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting rcquirements of the 2011 Aa have not been met.. nr To which, in my opinion attention should ba drawn in order to enable a proper understandin9 of the 8¢¢0untS to be reached.
