Independent Examiner's Report:
to the Trustees of the Larbert Churches Youth Trust
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are
set out on Pages I to 6 above.
Respective responsibilities 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) Att 2005 and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006.
The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10 (I) (d) of the Accounts
Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under
Section 44 (1)(c) of the Att and to stste whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination is 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 seeks
explanations from the trUSt￿S 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 Examiner's 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 requirements:
to k￿p accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the 2005 Att
and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met,
or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understsnding of the accounts to be reached.
Signed
