Independent Examiner’s report to the
Trustees of Mothers’ Union in Ireland – Diocese of Connor
I report on the accounts of the Diocese for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 which are set out on the foregoing pages.
The charity’s trustees 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) or under Regulation 10 (1) (d) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (the 2006 Accounts Regulations) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and section 44 (1) (c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 (the 2005 Act) for Norther Ireland under section 65 (9) (b) of the Charities Act.
To 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) 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these 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 (1) 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 Regulation and Requirements of the Charities Act 2008 and section 44 (1) (b) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts regulations has not been met.
