The Charity's trustees consider than an audit is not required for the period under section 476 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section145 of Charities Act 2011; - follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## BASIS OF MY EXAMINATION My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the account, and seeking explanations from you as trustees 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 statements below. ## EXAMINER'S 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 met the requirements to ensure that: - proper accounting records are not kept in accordance with the companies Act; and - accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
