## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustee Committee of Playschule** 

I report on the accounts of PlaySchule for the year ended 31 August 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 10. 

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

As  the  charity's  trustees,  you  are  responsible  for  preparing  the  accounts  in  alignment  with  the  Charities  Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. 

My duties entail: 

- Conducting an examination of the Accounts under Section 65 of the Charities Act. 

- Adhering  to  the  procedures  established  in  the  general  directions  provided  by  the  Charity  Commission  for Northern Ireland under Section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. 

- Reporting whether specific matters have been brought to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report** 

I  have  examined  your  charity's  accounts  to  ensure  they  comply  with  Section  65  of  the  Charities  Act.  This  examination adhered  to  the  general  directions  provided  by  the  Charity  Commission  for  Northern  Ireland  under  Section  65(9)(b)  of the  Charities  Act.  The  scope  of  this  examination  encompassed  an  evaluation  of  the  accounting  records  maintained  by the  charity  and  a  comparison  of  the  presented  accounts  against  these  records.  Additionally,  the  examination  involved an  assessment  of  any  unusual  items  or  disclosures  within  the  accounts  and  soliciting  explanations  from  you,  as charity  trustees,  regarding  any  such  findings.  My  responsibility  is  to  determine  whether  there  have  been  any  material matters brought to my attention that would lead me to believe: 

1.  That the accounting records have yet to be maintained in accordance with Section 63 of the Charities Act. 

2.  That the accounts presented do not align with those accounting records. 

3.  That the accounts fail to meet the accounting standards stipulated by the Charities Act. 

4.  That  additional  information  is  necessary  to  achieve  a  comprehensive  understanding  of  the  accounts.  This  is  in reference to CCNI ARR07 - supporting document dated 11 August 2016. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

Upon  completing  my  audit  concerning  the  entity,  including  evaluating  the  practices  and  methodologies  employed,  I have  not  observed  any  material  discrepancies  warranting  concern.  Through  the  audit  procedures  executed  and examining  the  available  records,  I  possess  adequate  evidence  to  conclude  that  the  financial  statements  provide  an accurate  and  fair  view  of  the  charity’s  financial  position.  Furthermore,  no  additional  matters  necessitating  attention have come to light.
