| 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) 2005 Act and the 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. 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 | |
| • 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. | |
