Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the 2nd Keith Scout Group
I report on the financial statements of the 2nd Keith Scout Group ('the Group.) for
the year ended 5th April 2026 which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Exarniner
The Group's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordano with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 20051.the
Act.) and the Charities Accounts {Scotland} Regulations {"the Regulations"). The
Group's Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)d does
not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under
section 44{1)¢ of the Act and to state whether parts'cular matters have come to my
attention.
8asl8 of Independent Examlner's Statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with the Regulations. An examination
includes a review of the accounting records kept by the group 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 matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do
not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Indèpendent Examiner's Ststement
In conneclion 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..
(al to keep accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, and
(bl to prepare accounts which agree with the accounting records and comply
with the 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 a¢¢ounts to be reached.
