Respèctlve The chanty's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
re8ponslbilities of The Ghanty's truslees consider that an audit is not required for this year
trustees and examinor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility lo..
examine the accounts under section 145 ofthe Charrties Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145151{b) of the Charities Act. and
to slate whether particular matters have come lo my attention.
Basls of Independent My 8xaminalion was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
examiner's statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review ofthe
accounting records kept by the ¢harrty and a Comparison of the account¥
presented with those records It also includes consideration of any unusual
Items or disclosufes in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees Gon￿rnIng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence Ihat would be required in an audit. and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'lru8
and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below ')
1. which gNes me reasonable caus8 to believe that in. any material ￿speCt.
the requirements..
to keep aGGounting records in ac¢ordanGe with section 130 of the
Charities Act., and
lo prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met,. Of

proper understanding of the account8 to be reached.
