|Respective|The trustees ofthe organisation<br>are responsible<br>for the preparation||of||
|responsibilities<br>of|accounts; they consider that an audit is not required<br>for this year under||||
|trustees and|section 144(2)ofthe Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent||||
|examiner|Examination<br>is needed.||||
||It is my responsibility<br>to||||
||~ examine the accounts (under secbon 145ofthe 2011 Act),||||
||~follow the procedures<br>laid down<br>in the General<br>Directions given by||the||
||Charity Commission<br>(under section 145(5)(b)ofthe Act), and||||
||~state whether<br>particular<br>matters<br>have come to my attention.||||
|Basis of|My examination<br>was carried out in accordance<br>with General Directions||||
