The CharAty's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Chartties Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an in(kpcndent examination is n¢edeiL Ji is my resp)nsibility to: eLgmine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 ACL follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission¢TS under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 ACL" and state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basi5 of independent esaminer's rewrt My examination was carried out in accordance with the genernl Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a ￿vIeW of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includ¢s o)nsideration of any unusual items 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 ￿ required in an audit and. consequently, no opinion is given as to wh¢th¢r the a￿OUnts present a.true and fair view" and the rep)rt is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. IndepeDdent examiner's statement In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention: which gives me r￿onable cause to believe that in any material respecL the requirements.. to keep accounting records in ae£ordance with section 130 of the 2011 ACL and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record8 and comply with the acwunting requirements of the 2011 ACL have not been rneL OT lo which. in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the a¢wunts to be reached.
