It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations from you &$ trustees concerning any such matters. The pro¢¢dur¢s undertaken do not provide all the evid¢n¢e that would be required in an audiL and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view gtv¢n by the accounts. Independent ExamiDer's Statement In connection with my ¢xamination, no matter has come to my attention: . which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requiremenls to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 of the 1993 Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requiments of the 1993 Act have not been meL or 2. to Whic￿ in my opinioffj attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
