An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden that would be required in an audit and, consequendy no opinion is given as to whether the accounls present a 'true and fair view and the report is limited tr• those matters set out in the statement below.

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any mateftal respect, the requirements.. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Ihe accounting requirements ofthe 2011 Act have not been mel.. or (2) to which. in my opinion, attenlion should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
