Basis of Independent Examiner's Report My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees conceming 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 fairf 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 matter has come to my attention (other than that disdosed below"): (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached, .
