The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland)
2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The
charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (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.
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 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 accounts.| ||
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other
than that disclosed on the back of this page*]| ||| ||1. which gives 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 2005
Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and| ||• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply
with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations| ||| ||have not been met, or| ||| ||Kyle Gordon CA

proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.| ||Kyle Gordon
