I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial sialemenis of Fighting Words Northern Ireland
('the charity,) for the year ended 31 MarGh 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of
Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the '2008 Act,) and the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Aci,). You
are satisfied that the accounts of the company are not required by chariiy or company law to be audited
and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16
of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of
the charity's financial statements as carried out under section 65 of the 2008 Act. In carrying out my
examination I have followed the general Directions given bythe Charity Commission for Northern Ireland
under section 65(9)(b) of the 2008 Act.
Independent examiner's ststement
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250.000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed
in section 65 of the 2008 A¢t. I confim that l am qualified lo undertake the examination because l am a
member of Chartered Accountants Sreland, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection
with my examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by saction 386 of the
2006 Act; or
the financial statements do not accord with those records-, or
the financial statem8nts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the
2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fail view which is not
a matter considered as part of an independent examination. or
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and
principles of the Slalement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by
charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
