MEN'S SHED
I have examined the financial ststements of the organisation for the financial year ended 31
De￿rnber 2023 which comprise the Receipts and Payments Account. the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and related notes.
This report is made solely to the organisation's members. as a body, in accordance with the
Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might compile the
financial statements that I have been engaged to compile, report to the Board of Trustees that I
have done so and state those matters that I have agreed to state to them in this report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the organisation and its members, as a body, for my work, or for this report.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The organisation's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in
accordance with the Charities Act (Northem Ireland) 2008. The organisation's trustees consider that
an audit is not required for this financial year under the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and
that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the financial statements under section 65 of the Charities Act
Follow the procedures laid down by the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
for Northern Ireland under section 65 (9)(b) of the Charrties Act; and
State whether parb'cular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examlner's report
I have examined your charity financial statements as required under Section 65 of the Charities Act
and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission for Northern Ireland under Section 65 (9)(b) of the Charities Act. An examination
includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the financial
statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or
disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any
such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in
an audrt 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 statement below.
n connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to
believe that in any material respect"
1) accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 63 of the Charities Act
2) the financial statements do not accord with those accounting records
3) that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
4) there is further information needed for a proper understsnding of the accounts to be reached.
Independent examlner's statement
I have no cOn￿mS and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to
which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the
financial statements to be reached.
