Resp¢ctlv¢ r¢spon$lbllltle$ of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trusiees are resp)nsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the tenns
of the Charities and Trustee Investrnent (Scotland) Act 2005 ('tthe 2005Act") and the Charities
Accounts (Scotland) Regulations (2006) (as amended) ("the 2006 Regulations"). The charity's
trusiees consider tliat the audit requirement of regulation l O( l ) (d) of the 2006 Regulations does not
apply. It is my r¢sponsibility to examine the acwunts as Tequii¢d under section (44) (1}(c) of the
2005 Act and to statc whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of Independent Examlner's Statement
My exarninatiDn is carried out in accordance with Regulation I l of the 2006 Regulations. An
examinatAon includes a review of the accounting records kcpt by tlie charity and a comparison of the
accounts prcscntcd with those records. It a150 includes consideration of any unusual items or
disclosures in the accounts and seeks cxplanations froin the trustecs concernin8 any such matters,
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the cvidence that would be requircd in an audit and,
consequently, I do not express an audii opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examlner's Stjtement
In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention:.
which givcs me reasonable cau.se to believc that, in any material respect, the requirements:.
To ke¢p aLcounling records in ac¢ordanc¢ with section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations, and
To prepare accounts which accord with thc accounting records and comply with Regulation 9
of the 2006 Regulations have not been met, or
2 to which, in my opinion, altention should be drawn in ord¢r lo enable a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
