ReporÉ ts) the Ihstee& of Strntbur Comjnunlty Men's Shed SC051984 I report on the accounts of the charity for the year 1° Febnwy 2024 to 31° January ?025, ,hICh are 8¢t out on pages I to 4. Respeelive respoDslbilities of trnstees and examiner The clwity's tteeS are responsible for the preporation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Tn1¢¢ Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regutations 2006. 'I'he Charity trwstceg consider that the audit requirement of ReguiatTon l O(1 ) (d) of the .4ccounts Regulations does not apply. It is my SponSibl]Ity to cxamine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particujar matters have come to rny attention. Basis of indepcDd¢nt examiner's Statement An eKqtniti0n is carrAed out in accordance with Kegulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotl8nd) Re¥ulationg 2006. An examination inLludes a revlew of the accounting re£ords kept by the chaTity and a cornparison of the accounts presented with those records. It a]50 includes ¢onsideration of ally unusual iteD)s or dtsclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations froni the tnLsiees concerning any SUGh matters. The procedures undertaken do not proTride all the evidcnce that would FE requiTed in an audi¢ and consequently I do not express an audil opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent exantiuer's statsment tn the course of My examinatio no mAtter has come to my attention. which gives me reasonable cause TO IlIeVe that in any material reswt the requIremt8.. to keep accounting records in accnrdance with StIOn 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 Regu]ation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met: or ? to Nvhich, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
