**Independent examiner’s report to the trustees Black and Minority Ethnic Women’s Network** (a non-company charity preparing receipts and payments accounts with a gross income of £250,000 or less in the relevant financial year) 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Black and Minority Ethnic Women’s Network (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under the 2008 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission NI. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

In carrying out my examination, I noted no issues. 

I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
