-
❖ Selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently;
-
❖ Observed the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
❖ Made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
❖ Stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

❖ Prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis (unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation).
-
❖ The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the 2005 SORP for charities and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2007).

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity commission (under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner’s Report
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 the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also include consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
Have not been met; or
