The charity's Iruslees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordan￿ with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment Iscodandl
2005 Act and the Charities Accounts Iscotlandl Regulations 2006 las
amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of
Regulation 10(11 Id) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my
responsibility lo examine the accounts as required under section 4411 } Ic} of the
Act and to stale whether parbcular matters have come to my attention.
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006
Accounts Regulations. An examination indudes a review of the accounting
records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with
those records. It also indudes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures
in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees conceming any such
mallers. 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.

In the course of my examination, no maller has come lo my attention
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements..
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44111 (al of the 2005
Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 AccoLJnts Regulations, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply
with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been mel, or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawrb in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
