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.
