Respective responsibilities of truJt¢eJ and ex4ffjloer

audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent exalninaiion is needed.
It is my responsibility to-
examille the accounts under section 145 of the Charities ACL
to follow th¢ procedures laid down in the general Direction5 given by the Charity Commission (under
$￿tion 145(5)(b} of th¢ Chariiies Aci, and

B8$is ofindependent examlner's s¢8t¢m¢Dt
My examination was carried out in accordance with gener￿ Dir¢ctiOnS given by th¢ Charity Commission. An
¢x4rnination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a ¢omparison of the wcount5
presented with those records. It also includes considcration of any unusual items or disclosures in the aeeounts,
and seeking explanations frorn the trustees conceming #ny such matters. The procedures und¢rtak¢D do not
PTovide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as io wh¢ther
the accounts present a 'true and fAir' view and the report 1$ limited to those motters set out in the stAtemenl
below.

accounting re¢ords in a¢cordan¢e with section 130 of the Charitie% A¢l' and to pr¢par¢ a￿ountS which
accord with the accounting re¢ords and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have noi been met; or
2. to which. in my opinion, attention should be dTawn in order io enable a proper understsnding of the
