It also includes consideration of any unusual items ￿ disclosures 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 ￿quIred in an audit, and consequenuy I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
