INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
The charity'5 Iwstees consider Ihal an audit is not required for this year (¢Jnder Sedion 43{2)
of the Charilies Acl1993 Ilhe Act), as amended by s.28 of the Chanties Ad 2006) and Ihal
an independent examination is needed.
11 is my responsibliliy lo examine the accounts, follow thè procedures lavJ down in the General
Dire¢lions given by the Charity Commission, 8nd lo st81e whether particular mattets have
come lo my allenlion.
My examination was carried out in accor(lance wrth General Difedions given by the Charity
Commission and included a review of the accounting records kept by the chanty and
comparison of the accounts presented wfth these records. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence Ihal would ￿ requifed in an audit, and consequently I do not exkyess
8n audit opinion on the accounls.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come lo my attention which gives me
reasonable cause lo believe that, in gny material respect, the Irvslees have not met the
requirements to ensure Ihal proper accounting records are kept, and accounts are p￿pared
which agree to those ￿CordS, and comFAy wilh Ihe accounting requifemenls of Ihe Act.
