I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records. In carrying out my examination, I noted improvements in the keeping of accounting records regarding invoices/receipts for expenditure supported with a relevant purchase invoice or receipt. Trustees continue to embed internal controls using a computerised accounting system which allows for the recording and uploading of invoices and receipts as expenditure evidence. I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
