I report on the accounts of PlaySchule for the year ended 31 August 2025, which are set out on pages 8 to 13.
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, following the general directions issued by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under Section 65(9)(b).
My examination involved reviewing the charity's accounting records and comparing the financial statements against these records. I also assessed any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and sought explanations from the trustees where necessary.
My role is to identify whether any material matters have come to my attention that would suggest the accounting records do not comply with Section 63 of the Charities Act, that the financial statements do not match the accounting records, that the accounts do not meet the required accounting standards, or that additional information is needed for a proper understanding of the accounts as referenced in CCNI ARR07 - supporting document dated 11 August 2016.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Based on my examination of the charity's records and financial statements, I have found no material issues or discrepancies that would cause concern. The examination procedures I conducted have provided sufficient evidence to support my conclusion that the financial statements present a true and fair view of the charity's financial position as at 31 August 2025. No matters requiring further attention have been identified during this examination.
