## **Sandwick Young Farmers Club** 

## **YEAR ENDED 28/02/2026** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Management Committee on the unaudited financial Statements of the Sandwick Young Farmers Club.** 

I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 28/02/2026 as attached in the Trustees' Annual Report. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the management committee and independent examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity's management committee 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 explanation 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 accounts. 

I have carried out such investigations as were necessary to enable me to form an opinion as to whether proper accounting records adequate for the purposes of the Charity have been kept and the financial statements of the Charity were in accordance with the accounting records. 

## **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 

2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
