An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented within those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures within the accounts. and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not providc all the evidence that would be required in an audit: and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts provide a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Inde endent examiner's statement In connection with my examination of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: to keep accounting records to prepare accounts which accord wtth the accounting r¢cords and comply with accounting requirements hav¢ not been met 2. to which. in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
