Structure, governance and management

Type of governing document Trustee recruitment and appointment
	During any ministerial vacancy a committee is appointed by the church members to identify a possible minister to fill the vacancy. Following prayerful consideration the person is invited to preach to the members of the church who then vote to ratify the appointment by majority vote if they so desire. Following ratification an Induction Service is arranged.
	All trustees are Members of Session. All church members are eligible at a Church Meeting for nomination to the Session. Members may be nominated in their absence but must intimate acceptance of nomination to the Church Meeting in writing. Members nominated for eldership must have been seen by the Minister and their names submitted to the Session as suitable for eldership before election to this office. Should the members proposed and seconded at a Church Meeting not exceed the number required as determined by the Session, the Chairman shall declare them duly elected, but, should there be a greater number proposed than the number of vacancies, a ballot will be taken to determine who have the majority of votes. The Session may co-opt a member who will serve until the next Church Meeting when his/her nomination shall be ratified if the members so desire. Following ratification each person accepted is formally ordained as an Elder and Member of Session by the Minister at a Morning Service.

	The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act 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.
	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 accounts.
	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 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
