## Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner 

The Group's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 ("the Act") and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 ("the Regulations"). The Group's Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement My examination is carried out in accordance with the Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements. 

## Independent Examiner's Statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:- 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements 

   - (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with the Act and the Regulations, and 

   - (b) to prepare financial statements which agree with the accounting records and comply with the 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 financial statements to be reached.
