## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
## Global Famil[y] Care Network[(] SCIO[)]
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 January 2026 set out on pages four to seven.
## **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) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts[(] Scotland) Regulations 2006[(] as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10[(] 1[)(] a) to[(] c) 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 m[y ] attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner's report**
My examination was 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 records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 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 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 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.
