Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Bonnyrigg and Lasswade
Local History Society (Charity No. SC(N)09522)
I report on the accounts ofthe charity forthe y¢ar¢nded 31" March 2026 which are
set out on page1.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and e￿mIller
The chariti s trustees are responsible lor the preparation of the accounts in
accordance with the tenns of the Charities and Truste¢ Investment (Scotland) Act
2005 and the Charitkes 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) (¢) of the Act and to state whether particular matters
bave come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner'5 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 ttcords. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the
accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all tbe evidence that ￿'OUld be required in an audiL
and consequentlv I do not express an audit opinion on the vieM' given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my eXaMi￿tion. no matter has come to my attention.
l.which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any malerial respect the
requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulations 4 ot the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
to PTepaTe accounts M'hich accord with the accounting records and comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulaiions have not been meL or
2. to whicm in my opinion: attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
