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

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.
