(The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out. Respectlve responsibilities of trustees and examiner The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audtt. Therefore, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to-. a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act. b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act., and. c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial ststements, and in particular, l expEss no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy rnyself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report, l obtain written asSuranS from the trustees of all material matters.
