Independent ExaMineS Report to the Trustees of Cathures For the year ended 31 August 2025. I report on the financial statements of Cathures for the year ended 31 August 2025. Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance vlith the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment {Scotland) Act 2005 and of the Charities A{untS (Scot]and) Regulations 2006. The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 1011) (a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under seth'on 44(1) (c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Ba81s of independent exam5nerfs Ststsmont 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 chanty and a comparison of the acLounts presented with those records. It also indude8 consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the a¢)Unt8, and seeks explanations from the trustees conmIng 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 examIne8 ststement In the course of my examination, no matter has rne to my attention. 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe Ihat 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 Regulats"ons, and to prepare a¢xounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, 8ttention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understsnding of the accounts lo be reached.
