It is my responsibility to examine th8 accounts under sectson 43(3)(a) of th8 act, Idlow tr18 procedures sp8¢ifi8d in the General Directions ￿Ven by th8 Charity commissio￿rS urmler section 43(7)(b) of the act and to state vthether particular matters have come lo my attention. I corKlucted my examination in accordanc8 With th8 G8n8r81 Directions given by th8 Charity Commission8rs, An examination includes, a review of the accourfng records kept by the charity and comparison of the accounts with these records. It also includes cmsideration ol any unusual items or disclosures in th8 accounts, and seeking explanations from Ihe trustees conceming such matters. The procedures und8rtak6n do not providg all the evid8nce that would b8 required in an audit, and cons8quèntly I do not 8xpr8ss an audit oynion on the vtew given by these accounts. In conn8ction with my 8xamination, no matter has come to my attention: which gives me reasonable cause to beliève that in any mat8rial respect th8 requiremèrts to keep accounling r8cords in accordanc8 With s8Cticfr 41 of the 1933 Act aThl to prepare accoLnts which accord thes& records, have not been m8t. to which in my opinion, att8nlion should b8 drawn in order to On￿8 a proper undérstarding of lh8 accounts lo be rea¢led.
