Financial review
Thè results are set out in detail on pages 13 to 26. The charity retumed net OLrtgoing resources for the year of
£13,760 (2023 £29,106) leaving unrestricted funds of £56.039 (2023 _ £47,351) and restricted funds of
£210,592 (2023- £233.040).
In the year 2019 the charity received a legacy from the Estate of Eleanor Mulholland. The committee has
designated £30,421 for the purposes of the charity's objectives. The unrestricted funds are considered to be
essential to provide sufficient funds to Cover any unforeseen costs which may arise and fulfil legal obligations of
the charity in the event that current levels of income are not maintained.
The charity uses facilities at 469 Omieau Road, Belfast, BT7 3GR. These are owned by Down and Connor
Diocese who allow the charity to use the facilities rent free. The management committee estimate that the value
of this donation is approximately £20,000 per annurn.
The management committee has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that
systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a spechfic use should be
maintained at a level equivalent to three to six months expenditure. The management committee considers that
reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a signifioant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the
charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level
of reseNes has been maintained throughout the year.
The management committee have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied
that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

ROSARIO YOUTH CENTRE
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED}
TO THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF ROSARIO YOUTH CENTRE
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 65 (2) of the Charities Act (Northern Irelandl 2008 and report in
accordance with regulations made under section 66 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about wh8ther the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK) wll always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material m155tatements in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, 15 detailed below.

ROSARIO YOUTH CENTRE
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OF ROSARIO YOUTH CENTRE
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of rnatertal misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identfying and assessing potential risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and
non-compliances with laws and regulations, we considered the followng=
The nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance, including the
charty's remuneration policies for rnanagement committee, bonus levels and performance taryets, rf any",
Results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of
irregularities,.
Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the charity's documentation of their policies and
procedures relating to-
Identifying, evaluating and complying With laws and regulations and whether they were aware of
any instance of non-compliance.,
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual,
suspected or alleged fraud- and
The intemal controls estsblished to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations,.
The matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in
the financial statements and potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and intsntives that may exist within the charity for
fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in income recognttion. In comrnon with all audits under ISAS
(UK), we are also required to perfomi specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We slso obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charity operates in. focusing on
provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the
Charities Act {Northem Ireland) 2008.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial
statements but compliance with which may be fijndamental to the charity's ability to operate or to avoid a material
penalty.

Audit response to risks identified
Our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following..
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess
compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the
financial statements-,
Enquiring of management concerning actual and potenti21 litigation and claims.,
Performing analytical procedures to identity any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate
risks of material misstatement due to fraud.,
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with tax
authorities., and
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of
journal entries and other adjustments,. assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting
estimates are indicative of a potential bias., and evaluating the business rationale of any significant
transactions that are unusual or outside the riormal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team
members and remained alert to any indicalions of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the
audit.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some
material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit
in accordance with auditing standards. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of
irregularities. as they may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissiong. misrepresentations, or the overnde of
internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-
compliance with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. httPS'.11
