It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures 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 view given by the accounts. Independent exarninerfs statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention l. which gives tne reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 11}{al of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulation5 las amended), and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with RegLJlation 9 ofthe 2006 Accounts Regulations {as amended) have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
