Independent Examiner's Report on the unaudited accounts to the directors of Eagle Fellowship Trust Limited

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of directors and reporting accountants

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 65(2) of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is preparing accrual accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Accountants Ireland.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (the 2005 Act)
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008
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 Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and is 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 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 next statement.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act 2008 and 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 the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2008 and section 44(1)(b) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
which are consistent with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met, or

(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
