**Independent Examiner's Report  on the accounts for the period 01 April 2024 - 31 March 2025** 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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) Act 2005  and  the  Charities  Accounts  (Scotland)  Regulations 2006. The charity's 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 the independent examiner's report** 

My examination was 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 seeking explanations from you as 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 connection with 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 to comply with Regulation 8 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.
