RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES The charity is responsible for the presentation of the financial statements, and considers that the audit requirement of Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of prO￿dureS specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 145 5(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention. BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT Our examination was carried out in accordance wth the General Directions of the Charity Commissioners. 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 financial statements, and seeking explanations concerning such matters. The prO￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements. INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT In connection with our examination of the charity's funds, nothing came to our attention which gave us cause to believe otherwse than that the financial statements accord with the accounting records of the charity, and that those records satisfied the requirements of the Act. We are not aware of any matter to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
