As described on page 2, the Committee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accofdance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investments (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The Committee considers 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. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Centre and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the Committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently | 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 Act and Regulation 4 of the Accounts Regulations and

. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the Accounts Regulations

have not been met, or
