As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 2006 (the 2006 Act) does not apply. It is our responsibilities to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particulars matters have come to our attention. 

## **Basis 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 explanation from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidences that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: 

1. Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41of the Act; and 

   - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met ; or 

2. To which in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
