ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST WEST LONDON FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2023

We have examined the financial statements on pages 5 to 9 which have been prepared under the accounting policies set out on page 4 for the year ended 28 February 2023.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts, and they consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is our responsibility to

Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act);
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Opinion

In connection with the examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41of the 1993Act;
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply
with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act. have not been met: or
(b) to which, in my opinion , attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which gives a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: -

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
