Would the Dean and Treasurer Allow an Audit?

In reading the reports of the Trustees of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain it is clear that the Trustees determined an audit was not necessary and therefor only had the books "examined". The report of the examiner is clear: The examiner only looked at records that were presented to him. 

Why not a true Independent Audit?
Doesn't this paragraph alone make one wonder if an audit is not appropriate?
Since the vast majority of the income came from a single "grant" to cover the overspending of the previous year, would not an Independent Audit be appropriate?




No audit will happen as long as the Treasurer is married to a fellow Trustee. 
No audit will happen when one of the Trustees needs the approval of the Trustees to be Ordained.
