It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.

Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounting Regulations, and To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations Have not been met, or 2.
