Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of All Saints Episcopal Church I report on the a¢counls of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024, which are set out. Im pages 4 10 6. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees arc responsibl¢ for the pr¢paration of the accounts in accordanc¢ wilh the tenns of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation l O{l){d) of the Aecounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44 {1) {c) of the Act and to slate whether particular mattcrs have come lo my attention. Ba818 of independent exaDJlner's report My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation I l 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 with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trnstces eoncerning any such rnatters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audiL and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accowils. Independent examlner's statement In the course of my examination, no matter has Come to my attention.. l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirem¢nts: to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44{1)l (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Rcgulations, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been meL or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order lo enable a properunderstanding ,.licd.
