||The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year<br>(under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act),as amended by s.28<br>of the Charities Act 2006) and that an independent examination is needed.<br>It is my responsibility to:<br>•<br>examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act, as amended),<br>•<br>to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the<br>Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, as amended),<br>and<br>•<br>to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.<br>My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given<br>by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the<br>accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts<br>presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual<br>items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the<br>trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not<br>provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and<br>consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.<br>In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which<br>gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the<br>trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:<br>•<br>proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of<br>the Act); and<br>•<br>accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and<br>comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or<br>1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a<br>proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.<br>**Date:**<br>14/2/2024|||
