It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in th¢ accounts. and seeking explanations from you &$ Trustees wncerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provid¢ 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 accounts.
