Independent Examlner's Report to the TruBtee8 of Bethesda Evangellcal Church I report on the aountS of tl)e cliarily for Ihe year endod 31 October 2025 which are sèt out on pages 1 to 3. R•spectlve responslbllltles of trustees and examlner The charity's trustees are resonsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with Ihe terms of the Charilies and TNstee Investment (Scolland) Act 2005 and Ihe Charities Accounts (Scoljand) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 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 examlner's statemont My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented wlth Ihese records. Its also indudes consideration of any unusual items or dlsclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanatlons frorn the trustees concemlng 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 examlner's Statement In the course of my examination. no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with Sectlon 44(1 > {a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and to prepare accounts which accord wlth the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Ac(x)unts Regulations have not been met. or 2. to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understsnding of the acwunts to be reached.
