Dear Mr Mordfield,

We have provided to you all information requested and have given unrestricted access to persons within the entity from whom you have deemed it necessary to request information.
We confirm that the financial statement are free of material misstatements, including ommissions. We believe that the effect of uncorrected misstatements are immaterial both individually and in aggregate to the financial statements as a whole.

-
(c) charges or credits relating to prior periods or
-

Any expenditure included in the financial statements (where receipts or vouchers were not available) was properly made in connection with the carrying on of the charity's business, unless specifically notified to you as being of a private nature.
4. Current Assets
In our opinion, current assets are expected to realise in the ordinary course of business at least the amounts at which they are stated in the charity's Balance Sheet.

6. Capital Commitments
At 31 March 2021 there were no commitments for capital expenditure.
