## **The Enda Dolan Foundation STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

for the financial year ended 30 September 2024 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

- state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE ENDA DOLAN FOUNDATION** 

We have examined the financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 30 September 2024, which comprise the Financial Statements and the related notes. 

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. Our work has been undertaken so that we might compile the financial statements that we have been engaged to compile, report to the Board of Trustees that we have done so, and state those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members, as a body, for our work, or for this report. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and that an independent examination is required. 

It is our responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements under section 65 of the Charities Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down by the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to our attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

We have examined your charity financial statements as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. 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 financial statements and seeking explanations from the 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 statement below. 

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act 

- the financial statements do not accord with those accounting records 

- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) 

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

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

We have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
