My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission:
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the
accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in
the account4 and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion
is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set
out in the statements below.
