THE WILLIAM KEOWN TRUST (INCORPORATED UNDER GUARANTEE) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 December 2017
EXAMINER’S UNQUALIFIED REPORT THE WILLIAM KEOWN TRUST
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The William Keown Trust
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2017, which are set out on pages 8 to 17.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Accountants Ireland.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to examine the accounts and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
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 statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, proper accounting records have not been kept; and the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the accounting records. In addition, no matter has come to my attention to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
