294,537| Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf on …..........................: Chairperson ## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of Erskine Community Nursery SCIO** I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 30[th] April 2025. ## **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. 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 examiner’s statement** 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 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 examiners 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 Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations and - § to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounting Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to ena aking of the accounts to be reached. > Name: __________________ Address: Relevant Professional qualification/professional body: ICAS Date:
