Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement - matters of concern identified** I have completed my examination. It has come to my attention that the charity is making payments to individuals who appear to be providing services that would typically require classification as employees or self-employed contractors. The trustees should review these arrangements to ensure compliance with relevant tax laws. I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; and 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
