The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts In accordance with the term5
of the Charitles and Trustee Investment Iscotlandl Act 2￿5 and the Charities Accounts Iscotlandl

of the 2006 Accounts Regulations doe5 not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as
required under section 44 Illlcl of the Acl and to state whether particular matters have come to my
attention.
Bas15 of Inde￿ndent examlnerfs statement
My examination is carried out in accordance wlth Regulation 11 of the 2IX)6 Accounts 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 view 8fven by the accounts.
