## **Independent examiners report for the trustees For the year ended 5 April 2021** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2021 which are set out on pages 4 to 5. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My  examination  was  carried  out  in  accordance  with  the  General Directions  given  by  the  Charity  Commissioners.  An  examination includes a review of the accounting records kept 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In  connection  with  my  examination,  no  matter  has  come  to  my attention: 

- (1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - (I) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

   - (ii) to  prepare  accounts  which  accord  with  the  accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirement of the Act 

have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
