STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

for the year ended 30 September 2017

The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees as the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charitable company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the net income or expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether the Charities SORP (effective January 2015) in accordance with FRS 102 has been followed;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with , and all Regulations to be construed as one with that Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

MAC (NI) (A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MAC (NI)

I have examined the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2017, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet, the Accounting Policies and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein. The financial statements were not required to be audited in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

This report is made solely to the charitable company trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our work has been undertaken so that we might compile the financial statements that we have been engaged to compile, report to the charitable company's Board of Trustees that we have done so, and state those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's Board of Trustees, as a body, for our work, or for this report.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company, are responsible for the preparation of the Trustees' Annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and Accounting Standards (UK and Ireland). The charitable company trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 but that an independent examination is required under that Act.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the financial statements under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and the Regulations thereunder;
follow the procedures laid down by the regulatory authorities; and
state the facts if it has come to my attention in the course of my examination work that any: (i) material expenditure or action appears not to be in accordance with the charitable company's trusts; (ii) information or explanation I am entitled to under the Regulations has not been afforded to me; (iii) information contained in the financial statements is materially inconsistent with the Trustees' Annual report for the year.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination work was undertaken in accordance with the general directions given by the regulatory authorities. Such an examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from yourselves as the charitable company 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 financial statements.

Independent examiner's statement

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

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep proper accounting records and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and are in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the Charities SORP and which comply with the requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than the requirement to give a true and fair view have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

MAC (NI) (A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

for the year ended 30 September 2017

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and Part 8 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. They also comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005, as updated in 2008) and with the financial reporting standards. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charitable company's financial statements.

Cash flow statement

The charitable company has availed of the exemption in FRS 102 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement because it is classified as a small charitable company.

Restricted funds

Donations or grants received which are dedicated by the donor for specific purposes. Such purposes are within the overall aim of the organisation.

Grants received during the year have been apportioned and deferred over a 12 month period, unless received for capital items or otherwise stated on the letter of offer.

Unrestricted designated funds

Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of the objects of the charity. In addition, funds which may be held in order to finance capital investment and working capital. Unrestricted funds in this period were used to cover governance costs and workshop costs not covered by grants received.

As per the funds policy in the trustees report, the trustees of Mac (NI) aim to build and maintain a reserve to allow the charity to meet commitments, planned activities and any statutory requirements for a three month period in the event of unforseen financial circumstances.

Incoming Resources

Voluntary income or capital is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charitable company is legally entitled to it, its financial value can be quantified with reasonable certainty and there is reasonable certainty of its ultimate receipt. Entitlement to legacies is considered established when the charitable company has been notified of a distribution to be made by the executors. Income received in advance of due performance under a contract is accounted for as deferred income until earned. Grants for activities are recognised as income when the related conditions for legal entitlement have been met. All other income is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Resources Expended

All resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis. Charitable activities include costs of services and grants, support costs and depreciation on related assets. Costs of generating funds similarly include fundraising activities. Non-staff costs not attributed to one category of activity are allocated or apportioned pro-rata to the staffing of the relevant service. Finance, HR, IT and administrative staff costs are directly attributable to individual activities by objective. Governance costs are those associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment 20% Straight line Motor vehicles - 20% Straight line

Taxation

The charity is a registered charity, and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and profits from investments and surpluses on any trading activities carried out in the furtherance of the charity's primary objectives, if these profits and surpluses are applied solely for charitable purposes.

The charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly all their expenditure is inclusive of any VAT returned.
