These have been prepared in accordance with the Charity Commission guidance “Charity reporting and accounting: the essentials March 2015”, published 27 March 2015 (reference https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charity-reporting-andaccounting-the-essentials-march-2015-cc15c/charity-reporting-and-accounting-theessentials-march-2015#legal-requirements-for-annual-reports). This document references the 1993, 2008 and 2011 Charities Acts. In accordance with this guidance note, the charity’s trustees consider that an independent examination of the accounts is required. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the financial statements as prescribed under section 145 of the 2011 Act - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and - To state where 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 consideration 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 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: - 1) 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 financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
