for the Year Ended 31 May 2023
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2023 which are set out on pages 8
to 16.
Respective responsibilities of trustees, and examiner
The charity's trustees,, who are also the directors of Hope House IHHI 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 under section 6512) of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, the 2008 Act. and that an independent
examination is needed.
Having satisfied rnyself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibilityto:
examine the accounts under section 65{3)lal of the 2008 Att;
(li) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 6519llbl of the 2008Act; and
(iii) to state whether particular rnatters 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.
An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparlson 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 conceming 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 towhethertheaccounts present a 'true and fairview. and the report is lirnited to those matters set
out in the nextstatement.
