INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE
TRUSTEES OF DUNDONNELL MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEA
I reiyjrt on the accounts of the char(ty for the year ended 16 November 2025 which are set out
on pages 4 to 6.
RespeLtive responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charivs trustees are ￿sponsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordantt wtth the
temis of the Charfcles and Trustee Investsnent (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts
(Scottand) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit
requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It Is my
responsibilty to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to stste
whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs statement
My examination is carried out in accordan￿ with Regulation 11 of the 201AS Accounts
Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
a comparison of the accounts presented wtth those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disdosures in the accounts and seeks explanations fiDm the trustees con￿rning
any such matters. The prcKedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be
required in an audr( and, consequenty, I do not express an audit opinton on the view given by
the attounts.
Independent Examinerfs Ststement
In the course of my examination, no ￿￿tter has cune to my attention,
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements:
to keep accounting records In accordan￿ wrth Section H(1) (a) of the 2005 Att
and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records comply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been rne( or
to which, in my opinion should be drawn in order to enable a pmper understanding of
the ac￿Unts to be reached.
