BASIS OF EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with the requirement of Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
