Examiner it is my responsibility to  Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act)  Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5) of the 2011 Act) and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions independent given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a examiner’s review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison statement of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanations from the 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 accounts. Independent In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: examiner’s 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material statement respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: - Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act) and - Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act. 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
