Independent Examinerfs Report on the Accounts As independent examiner I report to the trustees of Bathgate Community Centre Association, registered charity no SC013090, on the accounts of the charity for the period 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025, as set out on pages 6 & 7. Respective Responsibilities of Directors and Auditors The charitys trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotlandl 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(l) (d) 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 whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of Independent Examiners Statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotlandl Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention. l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: al To keep accounting records in accordance with section 44{1) {al of the 2CK)5 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and bl To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
