The charitvs trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts In accordance with the

as required under sertion 44{1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to
my attention.
Basis of Independent examlner's statement
My examin2tlon is carried out in accordance wlth Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotlandl
Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting record5 kept by ihe charity
and a comparison of the account5 presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trltstees concerning
any such niatters. The procedures undertaken do not providc all the evidence that would be
required in an audlt, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view 8iven by 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 requirernents:
• to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 4411) la) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4
of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accoiinting rp.r.ords and comply with Regulation 9 of the

the accoLJnt5 to be reached.
