my examination was carried out In accordance with the general Directions given by the Charlty
Commission for Northern Ireland,
My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charlty and
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of
any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation5 from you as charity
trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provlde all the evidence that would be required in an audit
and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and falr vlew,
and the report Is15mlted to those matters set out in the next statement.
