My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given

accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:

comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
