Regpèctive responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the pw)os¢s of company law) are responsible
for the preparation of the financial statements. The ffiistees consider that an audit 18 not required for Èhis

is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audtt under company law and is eligible for

to follow the procedures laid down in the generdl Diiections given by the Charity Commission
under Section 145(5)(b) of th¢ 201 l Act; and
to 8tate whether particular xnatters have come to my attention.
BaJÈs of independent examiner's report
My exarnination was carried out iTh accordance wAth the general Dir¢ctiollS given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a teview of the accounting records kept by the chaTlty and a
comparison of the accounls presented with those Iecords. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items OT disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as tn]stee8 concerning any such
matters. The procedur¢s undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit
and consequently no opinion is giv¢n as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the
report is limited to those matlers set out in the next statement.
