Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Rollox Church of Scotland:Glasgow
I report on the accounts of the chartty for the year ended 31 December 25 which are set out on
pages 6 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the
terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotlandl Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts
{5cotlandl Regulations 2006 las amended).
The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 1011)Idl of the Accou nt5
Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as reqLJired under
section 44111(cl of the Act and to State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs statement
An examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Chartties Accounts (Scotlandl
Regulations 2006 las amended}. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view
given by the accounts.
Independent exarninerfs statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
l. which gives tne reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 11}{al of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulation5 las amended), and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with RegLJlation 9
ofthe 2006 Accounts Regulations {as amended) 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.
