Financial Review
A surplus of £234 is recorded during the year, which is unrestricted. At the period end Kirkcudbright Forum had unrestricted general funds of £4,602.
The policy in respect of unrestricted funds at year end is to keep these funds for future projects and to be available to fund future Kirkcudbright Brochures should local authority grant assistance be reduced or withheld.
Plans for the future
The trustees plan to continue producing Kirkcudbright Tourist information and other pamphlets promoting the town. The Forum also intends maintaining town signage, assisting where appropriate the Town Development Trust, and the new art gallery now built in the former town hall which was instigated by Kirkcudbright 2000 Ltd.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
| report on the accounts of the charity for the year to 30" June 2024 which are set out on pages 1 — 5 of the attached accounts.
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 Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirements of Regulation 10(1)(d) of the Accounts Regulation 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 Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination included a review of the accounting records kept by a 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 explanation 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 | 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
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect requirements:
-
e to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
-
e 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.
