Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Shining Stars Theatre School (SCIO)
I report on the accounts of the above-mentioned charity for the period to 31st August 2025 as set
out on the attached pages.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustee and Examiner
The charitvs 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. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation
10 (l) (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 Examiners Report
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (kotland)
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 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 view given by the
accounts.
Independent Examiners 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 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 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 reach a proper
understanding of the accounts.
