It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required of an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examlnerfs statement In the course of our examination, no matter has come to our attention., (A) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that- proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act., or (B) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
