Basls of Independent Examlner's Statement
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 a charity and a
comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence
that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial
statements present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.
