come to my attention in connection with the examination (oth8F

respect:

of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements
concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement
that the accounts give a 'true and fair, view which is not a matter
considered as part of an independent examination.

with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in
order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
