|Respective|The trustees ofthe organisation

|responsibilities
of|accounts; they consider that an audit is not required
for this year under||
|trustees and|section 144(2) ofthe Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent||
|examiner|Examination
is needed.||
||It is my responsibility
to||
||~ examine the accounts (under section 145ofthe 2011 Act),||
||~ follow the procedures
laid down
in the General
Directions given
by the||
||Chanty Commission
(under sedgon 145(5')(b) ofthe Acf), and||
||~state whether
particular
matters have come to my attention.||
|Basis of|My examination
was carried out in accordance
with General
Directions||
|independent|given
by the Charity Commissioners.
An examination
includes a review||
|examiner's|of the accounting
records kept by the charity and a comparison
ofthe||
|statement|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
I do not express an audit opinion||
||on the accounts.||
|Independent|In the course of my examination,
no matter has come to my attention:||

||the Act); and||
||~ accounts are prepared
which agree with the accounting
records and||
||comply
with the accounting
requirements
ofthe Act; or||
