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.

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:
-
That the accounting records have yet to be maintained in accordance with Section 63 of the Charities Act.
-
That the accounts presented do not align with those accounting records.
-
That the accounts fail to meet the accounting standards stipulated by the Charities Act.
-
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.
