These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein. The matters raised in this report are only those which came to my attention during the course of my review. This report has been pPared solely for the members. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the members those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examinerfs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the members, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have fonned. Basis of examiner's statement My examination was carried out in accordan with the general directions given by the members of Dementia Carers Respite (Charity number 1202451). An examination includes a review of the accounting and other records kept by the branch. It also includes consideration of any unusual items, and seeking explanations from the relevant branch officials. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accoLJnts. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention: l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements". to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Organization have not been met. or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper unde of the accounts to be reached.
