Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to

To state wheth¢r particular matters hav¢ come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 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 true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters
sct out in the next stat¢m¢nt.
Independent examiner's statement
In conn¢ction with our cxamination, no matter has comc to our att¢ntion .
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 201 l Act, and
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of the 201 l Act,

understanding of the accounts to be reached.
