My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 p￿sented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from the trustee5 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 set out in the statement below.
Independent Examinerf5 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 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 Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts t b
