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 charily and a comparisons of the account3 pre8ented with th03e reGords. It also
includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures
undert8ken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examlnef8 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material raspect th6
requirements

the accounting requirements of the Act.
