Independent Examiner's Report To the Trustees of Newtownards Islamic Cultural Centre {NICC) NIC 108506 I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages 7 to 10 which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies on pa8e 6. Respective responsibillties of trustees and examiner The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of accounts. I 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 rnade 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 examlners report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 include5 consideration of any unusual Items or dlsclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence 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 rnatter has come to my attention in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn to enable a proper under5tandin8 of the accounts to be reached.
