IndepeAdent Eyaminer's Report to ihe Trustees ofDundee Audio Ne)v$
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year end¢d 28 February 2026 which are set
out on page 4.
Respective respon5ibililiov of¢rxslees und &Yaminer
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordan¢e with
the ternis 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(I)(a) to (c) 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 wbelher particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis tslindependent Lyaminer's slatement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation I l 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
includ¢5 ¢onsideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accouT)ts and seeks
explanations frorn the trustees Concerning any such rnatters. The proc¢dures undertaken do
not provide all the evid¢n¢e that would be required in an audit. and consequently I thi not
express an auth't opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independenl ex4miner's sÉutement
In the cows¢ of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that tn any material respect the
requirements:
to keep ac¢ounting records in accordance with S¢ction 44(1) 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
to which, in my opinion, attents'on should be drawn in order lo enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
