R8sp8ctlve responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustses are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider
that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charits'es Act) and
that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibilrty to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charrty
Commission (under section 145{5){bl of the Charib'es Act, and
to stste whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Indapendent examlner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission.
An examination includes a revièw 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 ststem8nt below.
Independent examine￿8 8tstgm6nt
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordan￿ with section 130 of the Charibes Act., and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record8 and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Charikn'es Act have not been met., or
2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
