Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Inverness Bravehearts Scottish Charity SC037269
I report on the accounts of your charity for the year ended 31*' October 2025 which are set out on the pages numbered 1 and 2.
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland Regulations 2006. The charity trustees considered that the Audit requirement of the Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts regulations did not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) © of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
