The charity irustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation Iolllldl of the Accounts Regulation5 does not apply. It 15 my responsibility to examine the accounts as required undei section 44llllcl of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent exarnine¢5 Staternent My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotlandl Re8ulations 2006. An examination includes a review ol the accounting record5 kept bythe charity and a cornparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosuies in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concernin6 any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit. and con5equenily I do not expre55 an audit opinion on the view given by the account5. Independent examlnerfs statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention l. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirernents= to keep accounting iecords in accordance wwth Section 44 Illlal of the 2005 Act and regulation 4 of the 21J)6 Accounts Regulations, and to prepare accounis which accord with the accounting records and comply wilh Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met. 01 to which. in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understandin8 of the accounts to be reached.
