Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsilje for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required this year under section 144 of the Charities AGI 2011 (the Act) and Ihat an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to.. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act., to f ollow the procedures laid down In the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5llbl of the Acl, and- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent examinerfs statement My examination was carried oul in accordance with general Directions given by Ihe Charily Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a cotnparison of the accounts presented with those records. It aso includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations f rom the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provideall 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. Independent examinerfs statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.. 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not t the requirements to ensure that.. proper accounting records are kept (ln accordance with section 130 of the Act)., and accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting rewrds and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act- or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounls to be re&hed.
