is my reS￿nSibIlity to eX￿iDe thè 84xounts as reouired under se(*on 44(11 Icl of the Act and lo st*e whether pa￿￿lar
matters have comelg tny attention.
Basls of Indèpendent Examlnerfs Statomert
My examination 15 carried out in a¢￿dance wth R¢gulatton 11 of the 20ce Accounts Regulations. An examwtson
i￿ludeS a re￿￿ ol the attountng re¢Axds kept by the charity and a compaThson ol the acwunts presented with those
records. It 8150 indudes t*nsideral"on of any unusual rterns or disejosures in the acC￿nts and seeks explanations from the

in an audtt and, COnsequ￿11y, I do Aot express an audit opinion un the view given by the a￿unts.
Indepndent Examlnerfs Stat•ment
