## Abbey Theatre Club Scottish Charity No. SC018057 Page 4 ABBEY THEATRE CLUB SC018057 INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 30" June 2025 which are set out on pages 6- 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 Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity Trustees consider that the audit requirement of the Regulation 10(1) (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 to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 and audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## Independent Examiner’s Statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the following requirements have not been met: - To keep accounting records in accordance with Section44 (1) (a) or the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and - To prepare accounts with accord with the accounting record and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached. **----- Start of picture text -----**
