Inde endent Examiner's Re Kilbraur Windfarm Communi Trust ort to Ihe Trustees of Benefit I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025 set out on pages four to eleven. Respectlve responslbllltles of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotlandl Regulations 2006 las amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit fequirement of Regulation 1011)1a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. 11 is my responsibility to examine Ihe accounts as required under Section 4411)Ic> of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attenlion. Basls of the independent examiner's report My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts {Scotland} Regulations 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 seeking explanations from you as 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. Independent examinerfs statement 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 to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1Xa) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of Ihe 2006 Accounls Regulations., and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and lo comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulalions have not been mel., or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understsnding of the accounts to be reached.
