(under section 145151 Ibl of the 201 l Act.. and
To stale whether particular matter have come to my attenlion.
Basls of the Independent examlner'5 report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the generol directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes o review of the accounting records kept by the charity ond a
comparison of the occounts presented with those records. 11 also includes Ihe considerotion of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanolions from you os trustees concerning
any such molters. The procedures undertoken do not provide all the evidence Ihat would be required in
an oudil ond consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounls present a "true and fair view"
and the report 15 limited to those matters set out in the stolemenls below.
Independent examlner's Stotemenls
In connection with my examination, no matter hos come to my attention:
which gives me reasonabl8 cause to believg Ihat, in any mat&riol aspect, the requirements
lo keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,. and
lo prepare accounts which occord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met., or
lo which, in my opinion, atlention should be drawn in order to enable a proper underslanding
of the accounts to be reoched.
