The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2001 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedure laid down in the general directions given by the charity commission (under section 145(5) b of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 includes consideration of any unusual item or disclose in the accounts and seeking explanation from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedure undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequentially no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
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 Charities Act: and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act,
have not been met or
- To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
