## **TWITTEN CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2026 which are set out on pages 3 to 5. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner** 

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) 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 Trust 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 (as amended) 

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.
