## Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiners
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is our responsibility to state , on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under Section 43 (7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's report
Our 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## Independent Examiner's report
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
1. which g (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the Act
- and (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.
have been not been adhered to.
2. to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
