Date ae i ## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of** > I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended which are set out on pages 31/12/2023 1 to . 4 ## **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) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 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 examiner’s statement** My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 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 given by the accounts. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. 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 - 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. > Name: FS Relevant Professional qualification/professional body: Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Address: Cameron Accounting Ltd, 12 Woodlands Road, Lundin Links, Fife, KY8 6HG Date: Community Heart Church Falkirk (SCIO) SC044479 Receipts and payments accounts For the period 01/0112023 to 3111212023 Statement of receipts and payments Unrestricted funds Restricted funds Total funds current period Total funds last period to nearest £ to nearest £ to nearest £ to nearest £ RECEIPT5 Donations Inote 11 20.045 20.045 24.408 Proceeds from sale of fixed assets Totol Recelpts 20,045 20,045 24,408 PA YMENTS Fundraising expenses Payments relatin8 directly to charitable activities Inote 21 Grants and donations 126 126 18.880 18.880 19.202 13,950 -$•3 7,6(K) Governance costs..
