YE 30" April 2025 

The fund is a charity registered in Scotland, No: SCO49704 | report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 April 2025 

## Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity's 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 financial statements 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 includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements 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, | do not express an audit opinion on the financial statements. 

## Independent Examiner's Statement 

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention; 

1. Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

   - Proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 44{1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations and 

   - Financial Statements are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; or 

2. To which, in my opinion, attention mould be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. ae 9/11/2025
