## **Basis of the Independent Accountants Opinion** 

My procedures included a review of the accounting records maintained by the Trustees and a comparison of the accounts presented with those of the underlying records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or necessary disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Management Committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide for the evidence that would be required from a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the figures given in the attached accounts. 

## **Independent Accountants Opinion**
