I report on the accounts of the 9th Bangor (St Gall's) for the year ended 31st March 2024
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibilty to:
examine the accounts under section 65 of the Chartties Act (Northern Ireland) 2008,
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities ACL and state whether
partÈcuLar matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission for Northern Ireland. An examination includes 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 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 accounts present a true and fair view. and the report is Limited to those
matters set out in the nert statement
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:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Art and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2008 have not been met or,
to which. in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
