## **Independent Examiners Report For the Year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Independent Examiners report to the Trustees of Brighter Baillieston**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 3 – 5.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustee and Examiner**
The Charities Trustees are responsible for the preparations of accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland Regulations 2006 (as Amended). 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 the Section 44 (1) (c) of the Act and to state whether matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiners statement**
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation11 of the 2006 Regulations. An examination includes a review of 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 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 connection with 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 2004 Act and
- Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations, and
- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
- Regulation 9 of the 2006 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.
