Independent Examiner's Report lo theTrustees of Stirling Methodist Church
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31.08.2024
In 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-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44111 {a) of the 2005 A¢t
and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations.
lo prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and complywiih
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulaiions have not been met.
or which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
l)ate
