review of the accounting records kept by the Group and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also include5 consideration of any unusual items or
disclosure5 in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such
matter5. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required
in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examinerfs Statement
In the course of my examination of the statement of account for the period ended 31

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the

to prepare accounts which agree with accounting records and comply with
the Regulation5 have not been met, or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the account5 to be reached.
