Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Tullibody St. Serf's Football Club
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025, which are set out in Section 2.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 44 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005;
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR);
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:
(1) which give 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 Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and 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.
