INDEPENDENT EXAMINER S' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BELFAST MULTI CULTURAL ASSOCIATION
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
I report on the accounts for the period ended to 31 August 2023 set out on pages nine to sixteen.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011
(the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
. Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
.to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. 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 as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
