INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of White Ribbon Scotland
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 6.
Respective Responsibilities of the trustees and 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) (a) to (c) of the 2006 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 the Independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
-
(ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations;
have not been met, or
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
