Respective responsibilities of trustets and ex*mitter

for the preparation of the accounts. The tn￿tee$ consider that an audit is not Tequired for this year under
section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an inde￿ndent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that th¢ ¢han"ty is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination. it is my responsibility to=

items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as truste¢s ¢on¢etning any such
matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit.
