Income (and, if necessary, Capital) of the Trust, prior to the Termination Date, is to be paid to the Vicar and Church Wardens for the above-mentioned purposes only. The _Termination Date_ shall be 31 December 2050 (or later if agreed by the Vicar and Church Wardens).

The Trustees review all aspects of the Trust's affairs as and when required. ## _**Activities and Achievements:**_ The trust continued its practice of making quarterly payments of £2,000 to St. Mary Abbots Church, in addition to the balance of unexpended revenue at the year-end date. ## _**Financial Position:**_ The results for the year are set out on pages 5 and 6.

The trustees consider that the audit requirement of 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 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 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 an 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 requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and 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. **Walker Dunnett & Co** Chartered Accountants 29 Commercial Street Dundee _6_ / 02 , 7' 5 ## **Dr l E Leng's Trust for St Mary Abbots** ## **Receipts and Payments Account for the year ended 31 December 2024** |_Schedule/_
