## **Independent examiner’s report to the charity trustees of Pollen Studio & Gallery 2022 - 2023**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 1[st] April 2023, which are set out on pages 3 to 7.
## **Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the
accounts in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Commission under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the
Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the
general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act.
My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and
seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such
matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention
giving me cause to believe:
1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 63 of
the Charities Act
2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
1
3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the
Charities Act
4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
CCNI ARR07 – supporting document 5 August 2016
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
