The Executive Committee have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

The objectives of the Society are to carry on, for the benefit of the community, public benefit, the provision and management for the relief and care of elderly persons of all classes suffering from the disabilities of old age or otherwise being in need of housing for letting. In furtherance of this object but not otherwise the Society may;

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
During the financial year the decision was taken to close our Very Sheltered House which had accommodation for 11 elderly persons (2024; 1 house — 11 persons). The Society also closed Templeton House which had accommodation for 11 frail elderly persons. Prior to the closure, both houses had been underused and the decision to close the facilities was made to enable to charity to streamline its support services and to maximise the use of beds within the facility. All residents of McMillan and Templeton Houses were fully supported during the transition.
The Very Sheltered House and Templeton House operated with occupants as normal until 31 March 2025 and therefore there is income and expenditure recognised in the financial statements for the year to 30 November 2025.
The land where buildings stood for the Very Sheltered and Templeton House were returned to South Lanarkshire Council on 2nd December 2025, in line with a legal requirements outlined in the title deeds on gifting the land to Abbeyfield Rutherglen Society in 1981. Legally the buildings remained owned by the Society on 30 November 2025, however, as the land and buildings were being transferred for no proceeds to South Lanarkshire Council, the assets have been impaired in the financial statements to nil net book value as at 30 November 2025.
During the financial year we continued to operate for the full year, the Registered Residential Care House which has accommodation for 18 frail elderly persons (2024 - 29). In previous years Templeton House was included in the Registered Residential Care House.
The Society strives to maintain its residential and nursing unit to provide a high standard of service and to ensure compliance with the stringent standards as set by legislation and by the regulatory bodies.

- Statement of Responsibilities of the Executive Committee
The Executive Committee are responsible for preparing the Executive Committee Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”. Legislation requires the Executive Committee to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Executive Committee are required to - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Executive Committee are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with relevant legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
- Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors
So far as the Executive Committee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Society's auditors are unaware, and each Member has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as an officer in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Society's auditors are aware of that information.
Auditors
The Audit has been carried out by the firm of Anderson Anderson & Brown Audit LLP, Chartered Accountants and they have intimated their willingness to be appointed for the forthcoming year.
On behalf of the Executive Committee.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ABBEYFIELD RUTHERGLEN SOCIETY
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Abbeyfield Rutherglen Society Limited for the year ended 30 November 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 30 November 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities and Trustee investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ABBEYFIELD RUTHERGLEN SOCIETY (Cont’d)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Accounts (Scotland)
Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
e the information given in the Trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
® proper accounting records have not been kept; or e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ABBEYFIELD RUTHERGLEN SOCIETY (Cont'd)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, OSCR requirements and Care Inspectorate.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities including fraud to be:
- e Management override of controls to manipulate the charity's performance; e Timing and completeness of revenue recognition; e Management judgement applied in calculating estimates and provisions; and e Compliance with relevant laws and regulations which directly impact the financial statements and those that the charity needs to comply with for the purpose of trading.
Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included:
-
e Testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness;
-
e Testing a sample of revenue transactions and associated recognition of revenue invoices spanning the year end to ensure appropriate;
-
e Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;
-
e Reviewing judgements made by management in their calculation of accounting estimates for potential management bias;
-
e Enquiries of management about litigation and claims and inspection of relevant correspondence;
-
e Reviewing legal and professional fees to identify indications of actual or potential litigation, claims and any non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
e Reviewing and sample of year end debtor balances to ensure post year end receipts support debtor recoverability;
-
e Performing a disclosure checklist on the financial statements to ensure Companies Act 2006 requirements are satisfied;
-
e Analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or relationship; and
-
e Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance to identify any matters indicating actual or potential fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

The accounts of the Society have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘ The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value. Abbeyfield Rutherglen Society meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
GOING CONCERN
During the financial year the decision was taken to close our Very Sheltered House which had accommodation for 11 elderly persons (2024; 1 house — 11 persons). The Society also closed Templeton House which had accommodation for 11 frail elderly persons. Prior to the closure, both houses had been underused and the decision to close the facilities was made to enable to charity to streamline its support services and to maximise the use of beds within the facility. All residents of McMillan and Templeton Houses were fully supported during the transition.
The Very Sheltered House and Templeton House operated with occupants as normal until 31 March 2025 and therefore there is income and expenditure recognised in the financial statements for the year to 30 November 2025.
The land where buildings stood for the Very Sheltered and Templeton House were returned to South Lanarkshire Council on 2nd December 2025, in line with a legal requirements outiined in the title deeds on gifting the land to Abbeyfieid Rutherglen Society in 1981. Legally the buildings remained owned by the Society on 30 November 2025, however, as the land and buildings were being transferred for no proceeds to South Lanarkshire Council, the assets have been impaired in the financial statements to nil net book value as at 30 November 2025.
During the financial year we continued to operate for the full year, the Registered Residential Care House which has accommodation for 18 frail elderly persons (2024 - 29). In previous years Templeton House was included in the Registered Residential Care House.
The Society strives to maintain its residential and nursing unit to provide a high standard of service and to ensure compliance with the stringent standards as set by legislation and by the regulatory bodies.
Our Registered Residential Care House continue to serve the needs of the Society. Residents can either register for residential care or nursing care dependent on their needs. We are happy with the current occupancy levels and income from total residential charges being reported.’

Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
