## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Friends of St Joseph’s Primary, Ederney Parent Support Group [Charity no. 107845]** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2023. 

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

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 65(2) of the Charities Act (Norther Ireland) 2008 (the Charities Act) or under The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulation 2006 (the 2006 Accounts Regulations) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and section 44(1)9c) of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (the 2005 Act) 

- To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission of Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act 

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiners report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission of Northern Ireland and is in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and 

   - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006, section 44(1)(b) and 2005 Act and Regulations 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations and 

   - Which are consistent with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met or 

- (2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
