SANDHEAD BOWLING & COMMUNITY CLUB Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees I report on the accounts of the charity for the penod ended 31 August 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 7 Respective responsibilities of trustees and examlner 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 Chanties Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 examlnerfs statement My examination is carried out in accordance with the Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examinatson 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 accounts. Independent examlnerfs 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, the requirement to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 41 (1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulation and, to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. have not been met 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
