1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is
needed.
It Is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,

Basis of independ9nt My examination was carried out in accordance with general

includes a review of the 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those
matters set out in the statement below.

material respect, the requirements:

the 1993 Act
