an audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the Charities Act 2011 {the 2011 Att)
and that an independent examination is needed.

My examinètion was carried out in accordance with the general Dirertions given by the CharFty
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented wrth those record5. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning èny such matters. The prOdureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would
be required in an audit and consequentty I do [t expres5 an audit opinion on the view gNen by the
accounts.
Independent exarninerfs siaternent
In connection with my examination. no rnatter has corne to my attention:
111 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting rec in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act," and
. to prepare accounts whith accord with the accounting records. comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
