the object for the purposes the trust is formed.refer the trust deed for this.

check the transaction in bank related to payment made to trustees and see if there's no personal profiteering done

check the expenses incurred in detail with supporting and proper authorization to ensure that they are incurred only for the objects of trust. if trust us claiming expenses towards Capital expenses then no depreciation is claimed again

ensure that trust expenses 85% of income and if not proper arrangements approvals are available for accumulation of funds for said purposes
