I report on the accounts ofthe charity for theyear ended 31 October 2023. which are set out
withinthese reports and accounts.
Ro8P•Ctlve re8pon8lblUtle8 of tho trus￿ and ￿mInor
As a charity trust88 you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts: you consider that
8n audit requirement ol section 4312) of the chariti88 act 1993 does not apply, and that an
independent examination 1$ needed.
It18 my responsibilityto:
11 Examine the accounts under section 4313) Ib} of the act 1993
21 To follow the procedure Laid down In the gener81 dlrections wen by the charty
commoners under section n4317) Ibl ofthe act-
3} In 8ddltion. to stat¢ whether particuL8r8 matters have como to my attention.
Ba•18 of Indep•nd•nt Exarnln•rs R•port
My 8xamin8tlon was cerriad out In accord8nce wlth the general dlrectlons given by th8 charity
commissioners. An ex8minatlon Included 8 rew6wofthe accountln8 record kept bythe ch8rty

any unusual items or dlsciosures In th6 accounts end seeklng explanatlon trom you a8 a trustee
concerning 8u¢h matt8r8.
The procedure undertaken doe8 not provide allthe evldence that wDuld be roqulred In an audlt.
and con88quently I do not expr888 an audlt opinion on the vlew gfrven by the account.
Indopond•nt •xamlnar• •t•t•m•nt
In connectlon vAth my examinatlon no matter has come to my attention.
11 Whlch gives me r8880n8ble cause to believe In that ary malerial respect. the trustees
have not met the requirements to ensure that
Proper 8¢¢ounting record8 are kept in accord8n¢ewith Section 41 of the 1993 8Ct;
and
Accounts are prepared vthi¢h agree with the accounting records and eornplywith
the 8¢counting requirements of the act: or
21 To whlch. in my opinion. attention should be drawn in ordor to enable 8 proper
und8rst8nding of the 8ccounts to b8 r88ched.
