Independent Examiner's Report To the Trustees of Newtownards Islamic Cultural Centre {NICC} N IC 108506 I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 set out on pages 7 to 10 which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies on page 6. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of account5.1 have been appointed to conduct an Independent Examination equivalent to that required by section 43 of the Charities Act, 1993 and to report in accordance with the regulations made under section 44 of that Act. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts, without performing an audit, and to report to the Trustees. Basis of Independent examiners report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directionssiven by the Charity Commi55ioner5. 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 explanations from you trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidep.ce that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examiner's statement Based on my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, accounting records have not been kept equivalent to those that would have been required if the charity was required to comply with section 41 of the 1993 Act, or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records, or comply with the accounting requirement of the 1993 Act. No matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
