the lemis of the Charities and Trustee Inveslmenls (Scollandl Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts {Scollandl

Bas1$ of independent examlner's 5tatem8nt
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts IScolland}
Regulations.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. 11 also includes consideration of any unusual items
or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit and consequently I
do nol express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examlner's Statemant
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements..
to keep accounting records In accordan￿ with Section 44111(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulalion 4 of the
Accounts Regulations and
lo prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply ￿th Regulation g of the 2006
