|**Respective**<br>**responsibilities of**<br>**trustees and examiner**|The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance<br>with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the<br>Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees|
||consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (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 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.|
|**Basis of independent**|My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts|
|**examiner’s statement**|Regulations. 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 viewgiven bythe accounts.|
|**Independent examiner’s**|In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that|
|**statement**|disclosed on the attached page*]|
||1.<br>which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the|
||requirements:|
||•<br>to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and|
||Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and|
||•<br>to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with|
||Regulation 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|
||understanding of the accounts to be reached.|
