As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of my examination whether particular matters have come to my attention.

My 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep proper books of account in accordance with Section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and
