You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - State whether particular matters have come to our attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Trustees and a comparison of those 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 such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** We have completed our examination. We confirm that no material matter have come to our attention in connection with the examination giving us cause to believe that in any material respect : 1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the activities of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. The accounts do not accord with those records. We 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 understanding of the accounts to be reached.
