INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trustees/members to INDEPENDENT CHRISTIAN WORKERS TRUST on the accounts for the year 1[st] APRIL 2022 set out on pages 6 to 10
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners
The organisations trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The organisations trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section43 (2) of the charities act 1993 (the act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts(under section 43(3)(a) of the act);
-
Follow procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the act): and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiners statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on accounts.
Independent Examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any materials respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
*to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
- accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

THE INDEPENDENT CHRISTIAN WORKERS TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and follow the recommendations in Statement of Recommended Practices: Accounting for charities (SORP) issued in October 2000
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts. It is shown in full in the statement of Financial Activities, when received. Gifts in kind are valued at their estimated value to the organisation and are included under the appropriate headings.
Intangible income is valued and included in income to the extent that it represents goods or services where another party is bearing the financial costs and the benefit is quantifiable. Where it is difficult or not possible to quantify the benefit, or where there is no financial cost borne by another party (e.g., volunteers), the accounts do not include the intangible income.
Grants including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are received.
Restricted funds are to be used for the specific purpose as required by the donor. Expenditure, which meets these criteria, is allocated to the relevant fund. Income derived from these funds is retained within the funds concerned. Designated funds are unrestricted funds, which the trustees have designated to be used for a specific purpose. Where these funds yield investment income, this is available for general purposes. Unrestricted funds are funds, which are not designated or restricted.
There has been no change to the accounting policies (Valuation rules and methods of accounting) since last year.
2. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
No fixed assets were held by the charity throughout the year.
