Independent Examiner's Report to the Torrance Community Initiative member3 I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2026 which are set out on pages 5 to 7. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordan￿ with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Ihe Charities Accounts {Scotland) Regulations 2006 {as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10{1) Id) of the 2006 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 accordan￿ with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Account5 Regulations. 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 conceming any such matter. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express and audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examiner's ststement 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 To prepare accounts which accord with the a￿oUntIng records and comply with Regulation 9 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.
