My role is to state whether any material matters have come to our attention giving us cause to believe.. 1. That accounling records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records 3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ wth the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland 4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. Independent examinerfs statement I have completed my examination and I have identified matters of concem that give me reasonable cause to believe that the accounts prepared for the company are not fully compliant with the accounting requirements of section 396 of Companies Act 2006 and have not been prepared fully in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended practi￿ for accounting and reporting by charities. The trustees have prepared a Statement of Financial Activities incorporating an income and expenditure account. However sufficient records have not been maintained. No records have been kept in respect of grants received totalling £3,551 or whether these have been spent correcdy. This amount was applied for under the previous finance team and no records were maintained. Some record of cash income and expenditure has been maintained along with some purchase invoices for examination but these are incomplete. The trustees have made significant progress to ensure that adequate records are maintained going fo￿ard. I confirm that there are no other matters to vthich your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
