Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act, - follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and - State whether particular matters have come to our attention.
-
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
