My examination was carried out in according with the general direction given by the charity commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church and a comparison of any unusual items or discloses in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be require in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
