The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
●
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
●
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by
the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
●
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
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.
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my
attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
●
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of
the Charities Act or
●
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to
which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounts to be reached.
