TO THE TRUSTEES OF ISTCLIVE'S OWN SCOUT GROUP, WELSHPOOL 

| report on the accounts of the for the year ended 3ist March 2025 which are attached. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees end examiner 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an independent examination rather than a full audit is sufficient insofar as the accounts have been prepared ona ‘receipts and payments’ basis reflecting the level of turnover for the year. 

| have examined the accounting records kept by the charity and the accounts presented with those records and have sought explanations from the trustees as necessary. In my opinion, the accounts present a true and fair view.
