Basis of Independent Ewniner's report
My ¢xarnirtation was carri￿ out in a¢¢ordanc¢ wlth th¢ general Dirrftions given by the Chartty
CoTnmission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the CJO and a
comparison of the accounts presented wth those Yecords. li also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accoun￿ and seeking explanaiions from the Tnjstees concerning any such
rnaners. The pr￿edureS und¢rtsk¢n do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audil
and ¢ons¢qu¢ntly no opinion is given as to whether the aceounts present a'tnje and fair. view and the
report is limited to those mattrrs set out io the staiemeni below.
