I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act ## Independent examiner's statement I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; In carrying out my examination I have noted that there are some deficiencies in the manner in which the accounting records have been maintained. I have also noted that the charity is still in the process of implementing some of the key financial controls required for effective running of the charity, including the setting of budgets to effectively control expenditure.
