Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of All Saints Episcopal Church with St Ninian's Fellowship I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31*1 August 2024 which are set out on pages one to three. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation10(I) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examinerfs statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It 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 evidence that would be required in an audit. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examinerfs statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention lother than disclosed below'] which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulcltion 9 of the 2006 Accounts Reglilations
have not been met. or 2. to Whic in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to ro er understanding of the accounts to be reached.
