Basis of independent examin8rfs statement My examination was carried out in accordan￿ wtth Ihe general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the chanty and a comparison of the accounts presented wrth those records. 11 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 ￿esent a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited lo those matters sel OLrt in the statement below. Independenl examiners statement In connection with my examination. no material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that in, any material resFect'. accounling records We￿ not kept in accordance with s. 130 of the Charities Act.. or the accounts do nol accord with the accounting records.
