Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act )
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given to me by the Charity commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act
Independent Examiner's Statement
In the course of my examination, no material matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
