The charity'5 trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the
terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment Iscotlandl 2￿5 Act and the Charities Accounts
(Scotlandl Regulations 2C(J6. The charitvs management committee consider that the audit

responsibility to examine the accounts a5 required under sertion 44111 Icl of the Att and to stste
whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of independent examlnerfs statemert
My examination is carried out in attordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotlandl
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 explanation 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 accounts.
I have carried out such investigations as were necessary to enable me to form an opinion as to
whether proper accounting records adequate for the purposes of the Charity have been kept and
the financial statements of the Charity were in accordance with the accounting records.

In the course of my examination. no matter ha5 come to my attention

Regulation 4 of the 2CK16 Accounts Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting retords and compty with
Regulation 9 of the 2CK16 Accounts Regulations.
