Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Stornoway Street Pastors
I retK)rt on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2025 which are set out on pages
4toS.
Respective responslbllltles of trustees and examlner
The charity's trustees are restK>nsible for the preparètion of the accounts in accordan￿ w((h the
tems of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Art 2005 and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of
Regulatlon 10(l) Id) of the Accounts Regulats"ons does not apply. It is my resFX)nsibility to examine
the accounts as required under section 44(11 (c) of the Act and to state whetker particular matters
have come to my attention.
Basis of Fndependent examinerfs statement
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 charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those reccyds. It also includes consideration of
any unusual items ￿ disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees
conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be ￿quIred in an audit, and consequenuy I do not express an audit opinion on the view
given by the accounts.
Independert examiner's staternent
In the course of my examination, no matter ha5 come to my attentKJn'.
- which give5 me reasonable cause to believe that in any material reskEtt the requirements:
to keep accounting ￿CordS in accordan￿ with SettKJn 44(11 (a) of the 2005 Art and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and (xmnply with
Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not b￿n met, or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should drawn in order to enable a proFer understsnding
of the èccounts to be reached.
