As described on page 7, you, the ebaritatAe comp8nls Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the
purposes ol Company law, are responsible for the preparab.on of the finanaal statements in accordance with the
Companies Act 2006, the Charities (Northem Irel8ndl AGt 2008, as amended and all othèr applicable law 8nd with
United Kingdorn Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applieablÈ to smaller eNb'ties, and for being sab"sfied that
the financial ststements give a true and fair MÈW.
Th8 Trustees consider that the audit requirement of 65121 ol The Charities (Northern Irelandl Act 2008, as
arnended IThe Actl does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the tnemorandum and articles of the charity
for the condu¢ting of an audit. and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006 and that no member or rn8mbers h8ve requested an su(Jit pursuant to Sects"on 476 of the
Companies Act 2006. As a rx)nsequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial staternents be subject to
independent examination.
Having satisfied rnyself that th6 finanaal statemènts are not required to be audited under any legal pr()vision, or
othe￿ISe, and are eligible ft>r independent ex8mination, it is my responsibility to'.-
al examine the finanaal statemtrnts of the charity under Section 65131 of the Act.,
bl follow the applicable piocedurèy in the Directions to IndepEndent Examiners made by the Charity
Comrnission in Northern Ireland and.,

Basis of Independènt Examinerfs Statement and scopè of work undertaken
I conducted my examination in a¢0)rdan￿ with tho Directions to Independent Examin6rs rnade by the Charity
Commission in Northern Ireland, setbng out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of
an independent ex8minatson. An indepencjent examination includes a review of the accountin9 records kept by the
charitsble company and of the accounting systems ern￿OYed by the charitable company and a comparison of the
financial staternents presented with those records. It also indudes ctsnsideratitrn of any unusual Iterns or disclosures
in the financial ststements, and seeking explanations from you. as Trustees, conceming such matters. The purpose
of the examinats'on is to establish as lar 8$ possiblè that there have been no breaches of charity legi$lats"on and that,
on a test basis of eviden￿ relevant to the amounts and dis¢losures made, the finanaal ststemenk comply with the
SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ trat would be required in an audit, and information
supplied by the TtU5tge$ in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not
cover all the rnatters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planrTring and conduci of an audit
goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

onsequgndy, I do not express 8n audit opinion on the view given by Ihe financial statements, and in particular, I
8xpress no opinion as tts whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the Charity, and
