Set out on pages 1to 26
Respective
responsibilities
trustees
and
examiner
of The charity's trustees are responsible
for the preparation
ofthe accounts. The
charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required
for this year under section 144
ofthe Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act") and that an independent
examination
is
needed.
The charity's gross income exceeded 5250,000 and
I am qualified
to
undertake
the examination
by being a qualified
member ofICAEW.
It is my responsibility
to:
examine the accounts under section 145ofthe Charities Act,
to follow the procedures
laid down
in the general
Directions given by the
Charity Commission
(under section 145(5)(b)ofthe Chariities Act, and
to state whether
particular
matters have come to my attention
Basis of
independent
examiner's
statement
My examination
was carried out in accordance
with general
Directions given by the
Charity Commission.
An examination
includes a review ofthe accounting
records
kept by the chariity and a comparison
ofthe accounts presented
with those records.
also includes consideration
ofany unusual
items or disclosures
in the accounts, and
It
seeking explanations
from the 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 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 connection
with my examination,
no material
matters have come to my attention
(other than that disclosed
below) which gives me cause to believe that in, any
material respect:
the accounting
records were not kept in accordance
with section 130ofthe
Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting
records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable
requirements
concerning
the form and content ofaccounts set out in the Charities
(Accounts and Reports)
Regulations
2008 other than any requirement
that the accounts give a 'true and
fair' view which is not a matter considered as part ofan independent
examination.
