Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The Gharity's trustees are responsible for Ihe preparation of the accounts. The charty's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ('Ihe Charities Act") and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibilty to.. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5>(b) of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's statement My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charty Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kepl 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 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 lo whether the accounts present a 'lrue and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's statement In connection ￿th 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 Charities Act" and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply wth the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 2, to which , in my opinion, attentton should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
