To The Trustees. of The Palatine Trust
I report on the accounts of the charty for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on
pages 5 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees. and examiners
The charity's trustees, who are also the directors of The Palatine Tust for the purposes of company
law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audtt is not
required for this year under section 65(2) of the Charities Act (Northem Ireland) 2008, the 2008 Act
and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibilty to:
examine the accounts under section 65(3)(a) of the 2008 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 65(9){b) of the 2008 Act., and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordance wtth the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination indudes 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 prccedures 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
'Irue and fair view. and the report is limrted to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examinerfs statement
