We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffscient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concgrn In auditing the financial statements, we have Goncluded that the Trustees use of the going ¢oncern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating lo events or conditions that, individually or collectively. may cast significant doubt on the association's ability lo continue as a going concern for a period of al least twelve rnonlhs from when the financial statements are aulhorised for issue.

Our responsibility is lo read the other infomialion and. in doing so, consider whether the other infomialion is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears lo be materially misslaled. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required lo deleimine whether this gives rise lo a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information., we are required lo report that fact. We have nothing to rewrt in this regard.
Northern Ireland Civil Service Sports Association Limited Independent Auditorfs Report Year Ended 31 December 202S Opinions on other matters In our opinion. based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit.. the information given in the Trustees, report for the financial year for which the financial slalements are prepared is consistent with the financial stalemenls., and the Trustees, report has been prepared in accordan with applicable legal requirements. Matters on whlch we are requlred to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities IAG¢ounts and Reports) Regulations {Northern Ireland} 2015 require us to report lo you if, in our opinion.. the infomation given in the Trustees, report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements", Of sufficient accounting records have not been kept,. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records.. or we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purpose of our audit. Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees. report set out on page 4, Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial slalemenls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is ne$Sary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud and error. In preparing the financial stalemenls, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable eompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going coneern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or lo ase operations, or have no realists'c allemative but to do so. Auditor's reswnsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the association's financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but il is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will aayS delect a material misststemenl when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individua15y or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are Instsns of non-compliance wsth laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below-. Our approach lo identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and gUlations, was as follows.. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team cttlleelively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non4ompliance with applicable laws and regulations., we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the association through discussions with Trustees and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector,. we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, such as the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015., we assessed the extent of compliance with the law$ and regulations identified above through making enquiries of managemerkl,. and identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audrt team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit
Northern Ireland Civil Servlce Sports Association Limited Independent Audito$ Report Year Ended 31 December 2025 We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements lo material misstatement, induding obtaining an understanding of how fraud migm occur, by.. making enquiries of management as lo where they ¢onsidered there was susceptibility to fraud. their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud". considering the internal controls in place lo mitigate risks of fraud and nonoompliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we.. perfomied analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships,. tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions. In response lo the risk ol iegUlaritieS and non<ompli8nce with laws and regulations. we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures lo underlying supporting dooumentstion., reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., enquiring of management as lo actual and p)tential liligalion and claims. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading lo a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial slatemenls, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-complian. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, Collusion, omission or misrepresentstion. A further description of our respon5ibililies for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. http'.Ilww.fr¢.org.uklauditorsresponsibilitses.
