for the year. In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.

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 the 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 include consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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:

The accounts are not properly prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011; or
The accounts do not accord with the accounting records kept by the charity; or
The accounts fail to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

I have no concerns and have not found any matters to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper

understanding of the accounts to be reached.
