The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to; - Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act - To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and - To state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’s REPORT** 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 a consideration of any unusual issues or disclosures in the accounts, 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 statement below. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 130 of the 2011 Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice; Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met. No other matter has come to my attention in accordance with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
