It also includes consideration of any unusual ifrms or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the e%idence that would be required in an audiL and consequendy no opinion is gRen as to wthether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
