Independent Examiners’ Report to the Trustees of Arran Baptist Church.

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31% December 2025, which are set . out on pages 3-5.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners.

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 (as amended). ;

The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the - Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is our responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to our attention. Basis ofindependent examiners’ statement. An examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
