I report in respect of my examination of The Emperor Foundation’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of The Emperor Foundation as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. The accounts do not accord with those records; or I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper undersanding of the accounts to be reached.
