Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year {under section 144{2) of the Chartties Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to.. examine the accounls {under section 145 of the 2011 Act) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the commission (under section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Act) to state whether particular rnatte￿ have come to my attention. Basls of independent examinerfs report My examination was carrted out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review ofthe 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 conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ 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 set out in the next statement. My review was based on the following d¢xumentation'. WSO Community Bank Account Statements (Account.. 93246825) from May 2021- June 2022 (reviewed a sample) Treasurerfs explanation of account (D Smith email at: 2114 at 18.16) WSO Accounts Analysis {Excel.'

(1) 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 2011 Act, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply wilh the accounling requirements of Ihe 2011 Act have not been met, or {2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
