Independent examiner's report to the trustees of INDEPEIYDENT CHOICES

independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued
accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is
eligible for independent examinatioffj it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 201 l Act '

charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a 'trne and fair view, and the r¢port is limited to those matters set
out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement

accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, . and
