out on pages 4 to 7.
Respective
As the charity's Trustees you are responsible for ihe preparation of
Responsibilities of
the accounts. you consider that the audit requirement of Section
Trustees and Examiner 43{2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does nol apply. It is my
responsibility to state on Ihe basis of procedures specified in the
General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under
Section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to
my attention.
Basis of Indcpendent
Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general
directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination
includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
a comparison of the accounts prescnted with those records. 11 also
includes Consideration of any unusual item5 or disclosure5 in the
accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not PTovide all the
evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do
not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Indcpcndent
Examiner's Statemen¢
In accordanc¢ with my examination, no matter has come 10 my
attention..
( l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any
matcrial respect the requirements to keep accounting records
in accordance wilh Section 41 of the Act. and to prepare
accounts which accord with the accounting records and to
comply with the accounling requirements of the Act have
not been m¢t, or
(2) to which, in my opinion, artenlion should be drawn in order
to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
reached.
