Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Dingwall Baptist Church SCIO
SC051800
report on the accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2025.
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. The Church trustees consider that the audit
requirement of Regulation 10( I)(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
(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 the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do
not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not
express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements
a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) of the 2005 Art and
Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations: and
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting ￿CordS and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the Act
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.
