## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities for the Financial Statements**
**For the year ended 31 March 2023**
Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charitable company's state of affairs at the end of the year and of its income and expenditure for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
- that the company will continue in business.

**Independent Examiners' Report**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2023**
We report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner**
The charity’s members are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s members consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 4144(2) of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
- examine the accounts (under section 145 of 2011 Act);
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
- •
- Commissioners (under section 145 (5) of 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner’s report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 members concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the members have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act); and
- Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
- (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
