Basls of independent examiner's report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 view given by the accounts. Independent examlner's ststement In connettion with my examination. no rnatter has corne to my attention." al which gives me reasonable caLise to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordan with Section 130 of the Act; and - to prepare accounts which accor(1 with the account records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met,. or Ibl to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
