It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees conceming any such matters. An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assuran￿ that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, l express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and my report is limited to those specific matters set oui in the independent examiner's statement.
