Res ective res onsibilities of trustees and examiner. The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for thi5 year under secb.on 144121 of the Charities Art 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent exarnination is needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; to follow the procedure5 laid down in the general t*rections given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5llbl of the 2011 Act: and to state whether particular matteFS have come to my attention. Basis of inde endent examiner's re My examination was carried out in accordance wFth the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charrty 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 you as trustee5 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. Inde endent examiner'5 ststement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention-. 111 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act- and to prepare accounts which accord Yth the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met- or 121 to which, in my opinion. attents.on should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
