March 2023.
Respective responsibilities of the trustee5 and examiner
The charitvs tTUStee5 are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
onsider that an audit is not requlred for thi5 year under the section 144 of the Charities Act of 2011
(The Charitie5 Act) and that an independenl examination is needed.
It is my ￿sponsibl11￿ to..
Examine the account5 under se(tion 145 of the Charities A
To follow the procedure laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commiss￿n
Under section 14515llbl of the Charities Act
To State whether particular matters have come to my attention
Ba515 Ot Independent eKamlners report
My examination was carried oui in accordance wr(h the general Dbiettions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the account5 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concefning
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit and con5eouently no option 15 given as to whether the aciounts present a.true
and fair view" and the report is limited to those matter5 set out in the statement below.
Independent Emaminers 5taternent
In connertion with my examination, no matier has come to my attention=
l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respert. the requirement-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 01 the Charittes Act and
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and compty with the
accounting requirements of the Charrties Act
2. To which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
