Independent Examiners’ Report to the Trustees of Mary Davies Trust.
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2025, which are set out on page 4.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners.
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 (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is our responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiners’ statement.
An 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 trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiners’ statement.
In the course of our examination no matter has come to my attention
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a)
of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations, and
- (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records
and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts
Regulations have not been met, or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
