The rp ovision of accommodation either permanent r o temporary for those in need of the same and to supply pastoral oversight as may be necessary for such individuals.

The rp imary function of the rT ust is in the rp ovision of a local church fellowship, based on sound Biblical doctrine and teaching, operating under the name of M‘ oreton Christian Assembly’.
It is the policy of the rt ustees to distribute a number of gifts during the course of the year for the furtherance of the Christian faith wor dl wide. These include gifts to missionary organisations and relief work and to individual full time workers. Within the unrestricted funds of the rT ust, the total distribution is normally approximately equal to 10% of the gross income.

In d epen d ent Examine r ’s R epo r t to the r T ustees
I report on the accounts of the rT ust rp ior to the year ended 31 December 2015 which ra e set out on pages 4 to 9
R espective r esponsibilities of r t ustees an d examine r
As the charity’s rt ustees you ra e responsible for the rp eparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of rp ocedures specifed in the General D ri ections given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43 (7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of In d epen d ent examine r ’s r epo r t
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General D ri ections given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes ra eview of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts rp esented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items r do isclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations rf om you as rt ustees concerning any such matters. The procedure undertaken does not rp ovide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently dI o not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
In d epen d ent examine r ’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; o r
- to which, in my opinion, attention should have been drawn in rdo er to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
