the accounting policies set out therein and comply with the

charity is not subject to the statutory audit requirement for the year.
You consider that the charity meets the conditions for an
independent examination set out in the Charities Act (Northern
Ireland) 2008 and regulations made thereunder. l am qualified to

I have completed my examination. I confirm that I meet the
requirements of the Charities Act INorthern Ireland) 2008 and
regulations for undertaking an independent examination of the
charity's financial statements and that l am independent of the
charity as required by the regulations.
2. Independent Examlnerfs Responsibilitles
My responsibilities are to:
Examine the financial statements under the Charities Act
{Northern Ireland) 2008.
Follow the procedures specified in the Charities Accounts
Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015.
State whether specific matters have come to my attention, as
required by the regulations.

My examination is a focused review of the charity's accounting
records and financial procedures. It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (UK). Consequently, I do not express an
audit opinion on the financial statements.
3. Basis of Independent ExamineVs Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general
Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland
under section 69(2) of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.
My examination included:
A review of the accounting records kept by the charity.
A comparison of the financial statements with the accounting
records.
Enquiries of the trustees and staff concerning the financial
activities of the charity.
A review of relevant bank statements and reconciliation
documents.
A consideration of whether the financial statements are in
accordance with the accounting policies disclosed and comply with
the legal and regulatory framework.
A review of the Trustees, Annual Report to assess its
consistency with the financial statements.
I planned my work so as to have a reasonable expectation of
detecting any material misstatements in the financial statements,
whether caused by fraud, other irregularity, or error. However, an
examination does not provide certainty that all such matters would
be detected.
4. Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has corne to my
attention:
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any
material respect:
Accounting records have not been properly kept in
accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 (as
applied to charities) or Regulation 12 of the Charities Accounts
Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015", or
The financial statements do not accord with the
accounting records; or
The financial statements do not comply with the
applicable requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland)

2008 and the Charities Accounts Regulations (Northern Ireland)
2015, other than any requirement that the financial statements give
a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an
independent examination.
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order
to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be
reached.

Have been properly prepared in accordance with the
accounting policies stated therein.

the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and the Charities
Accounts Regulations INorthern Ireland) 2015 require me to report
to you if, in my opinion:

inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements;
or
Sufficient accounting records have not been kept., or
