My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scx)Iland}

any unusual ilems or disclosu￿$ in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees
conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would
be required in an audit, and consequently I do not expr8ss an audit opinion on the view given by the
