It also indudes a consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanatlons from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the e￿den￿ that would be required in an a￿lt, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
