INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
OF NOBLE RESOLVE GOSPEL AND TEMPERANCE MISSION AUXILIARY
| report on the Accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2025 which are set out on pages 3 to 5.
This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 44 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, | do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions | have formed.

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.

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 | do not express an Audit opinion on the view given by the Accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
-
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
