Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
responsibilities Of with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
trustees and examiner Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity 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 ieeapenianes My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities
examiner’s statement 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 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, | do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
independent examiner’s wes ; a
statement 'n the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me
reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements ie:
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.
