The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the
charities act 2011 Ithe 2011 actl and that an indepeThJent examination is needed.
It 15 my responsibility to
examine the accounts under sertion 145 of the 2011 act:
follow the procedures laid down in the General Direction$ given by the Charity
Commissioners section 14515}Ib} of the 2011 Act." and
stste whether particular matters have come to rny attention.
Basis of Independent Examinerfs Statement
My examination was carried out In accordance with the General DSrectiOD$ given by the Charity
Commission.
An examlnation 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. seeking explanations from the management commlttee concerning any
such matters. The procedures undertaken do not pro¥ide all the evidence that would be ￿qUired in
a full audit. and consequently I do not exp￿$$ an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examinerfs Statement
In connection with my examination. no matters have come to my attent￿n
l. Which glve me reasonable cause rne to believe that in any material respect the requirements
To keep occounting records in occordonce with 5.130 of the 20110rt,' or
To prepare occounts which accord with these occounting records have not been met
2. To whlch, In my opinion, attention Should be drawn in order to enable a proper
