follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission fof Northern Ireland

from yourselves as the chafitable company trustees concerning any such matters. The prO￿dureS 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

In connection with my examination work, no matter has come to my attention..
