My examinaton was carried out in accordance with the General Directons given by the Charity Commission under Secton 43(7) (b) of the Act. That examinaton includes a review of the accountng records kept by the Treasurer and a comparison of the Financial Statements with those records.  It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the Financial Statements and seeking explanatons from you as Treasurer concerning any such maters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the fnancial statements.
