Statement of Committee Members' Responsibilities

Organisation law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the organisation and of the receipts and payments of the organisation for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Management Committee is required to:

1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently

2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent and

3. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the organisation will continue

The Management Committee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the organisation and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Independent Examiners Report

I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was caried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65 (9)(b) of the Charities Act.

My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:

1. That accounting records were not kept with section 63 of the Charities Act.

2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records.

3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.

4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for the Northern Ireland, I have found no matters require drawing to your attention.
