Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Cloughmills Golden Oldies
I report on the accounts and financial statements of Cloughmills Golden Oldies for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act (NI) 2008. 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 and that an independent examination be carried out under Section 65(3) of the Act. The charity has prepared a Receipts and Payments Account and a Statement of its Assets and Liabilities.
As the independent examiner it is my responsibility :
-
to examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (NI) 2008
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9) of the Charities Act (NI) 2008 and
-
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 Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
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, the requirements below have not been met.:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act (NI) 2008
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act (NI) 2008
There is no other information to which , in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
