||The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
•
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,
•
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and
•
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
by the Charity Commission. 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 the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true
and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.|||
- **Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
- **examiner's statement** (other than that disclosed below *) 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
- • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
- have not been met ; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
