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 a￿ayS 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 Instsn￿s 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 i￿egUlaritieS 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. This description forms part of
our auditor's report.
Purpose of ouraudit work and to whom V￿ owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the charitable company's Trustees, as a body. in accordance with Part 4 of the
Charities (Account5 and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015. Our audit work has been undertaken
so that we might $18te to the charitable company's Trustees those matters we are required lo state to them in
an auditols Teport and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's Trustees as a body,
for our audit work, for this ￿POrt, or for the opinions we have formed.

Ail expenditure is a¢¢ounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that
aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or
constructive obligation to make payments lo third parties. il is probable that the settlement will be
required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following
headings..
Costs of raising funds includes the cost of wage5 and
Expenditure on charitable activities includes direct project costs., and
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories alx)ve.
lffecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objeclNes. Where unconditional grants are
offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant. as this gives rise to a reasonable
expectation Ihal the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are condit￿nal relating lo
performan￿ then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of
the charity.
(e) Support co¥ts allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity bul do not directly represent charitable
activities and include office costs. governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred
directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried
out al Headquarters. Vvhere support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have
been allocated lo cost of raising funds and expenditu￿ on charitable actwities on a basis consistent with
use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on an apportioned area basis and other
overheads have been allocated on a time spent basis.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of
disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
The analysis of these costs is included in note 7.

on business combinations are capitalised separatety from goodwill if the fair value can be measured
reliably on initial recognition.
Research expenditure is written off against profits in the year in which it is incurred. Identifiable
development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical. commercial and financial
feasibility can be demonstrated.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their useful lives. The useful lives of
intangible assets are as follows".

impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transactK)n it is measured al present value.
U) ImpaSmient
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at
each balance sheet dale. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset or the asset's
cash generating unil, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Vthere the carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is
