Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees a￿ responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not
required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Aci and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audtt under company kqw and is eligible for
independent examination. it is my resFKJnsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the prO￿ureS laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Art and
to state whether particular matters have corne to my attention.
Basis of independent examlnerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance the general DirectK>ns given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a ￿vIeW of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the
accounts presented vlith those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in
the accounts. and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opIn￿n is
given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair viev/ and the re[￿ is limited to those matters set
out in the statement below.
Independent examlnerfs statement
