by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented wtth those records. It also
includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

the accounting records were not kept in accordance wtth section 130 of the
