-
to state whether particulars matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent examiner's statement
Our examination was carried in accordance with the general directions given by the Charities Commission for Northern Ireland. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the Financial Statements 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 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 financial statements present a “true and fair” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
