Trustees’ report

for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

Christian Vision is a charitable company limited by guarantee and does not have any share capital. The company was incorporated on 30 July 1993 and is governed by Memorandum and Articles of Association that were last amended on 4 September 2024. The Trustees are detailed on page 3. There have been no changes in Trustees either during the year or since the year end. Trustees may be appointed by Lord Edmiston, the Trustees from time to time or by the members by ordinary resolution.

The Trustees are responsible for decisions related to the strategic direction of the charity together with those that relate to exceptional financial or reputational risk. The Trustees meet around four times per year to monitor the progress of the charity and liaise on material matters with one another and with the operational management in the periods between meetings.

Day to day operational management rests with the principal officers and operational directors detailed on page 3 and senior personnel located around the world. They are responsible directly to the Trustees. Lord Edmiston is the Founder and Chairman and Lady Edmiston is Co Chair, and they meet regularly with the Group’s Managing Director, Heinz Oldewage, and, where relevant, Principal Officers and Operational Directors identified on page 3 and other senior personnel worldwide, to review operational matters worldwide and report back to the other Trustees.

The Trustees and senior leaders continue to play a vital role in shaping the future direction of the organisation alongside key team members, establishing clear priorities and goals that align with CV's vision and mission. This was clear in the unveiling of CV's new bold and strategic five-year plan in 2024 at the CV global conference in Athens, combined with the continuation of adoption of new technology.

Two Trustees, together with senior members of the Finance team, form an audit and risk committee to scrutinise and report back to the Trustees as a whole on audit and related matters and to discuss any issues with the external auditors. In addition, the committee will direct and inform the Board on the internal audit scope, framework, and reporting. This includes reviewing adherence to the Finance Policy, Data Protection Policy, Safeguarding Policy and Risk Management Policy inter alia.

The training and induction provided for new Trustees will depend on their existing experience. Where necessary induction will provide training on charity, legal and financial matters as well as the charity’s global policies and governance.

Christian Vision holds interests in subsidiaries as detailed in note 7. It also makes donations to overseas operations to further the objectives of the charity. Lord Edmiston, a director and trustee of the charity, is the ultimate sole shareholder of IMG (UK) Holdings Limited. Subsidiaries of IMG (UK) Holdings Limited make donations and provide services to Christian Vision. Information is included in Note 17.

Pay and remuneration for key personnel are reviewed by the Trustees annually in the light of inflation and other relevant factors.

Charity Governance Code

The Trustees have considered the amended Governance Code for Larger Charities and decided not to adopt it. The Trustees have re-confirmed their commitment to principles of good governance through the adoption of a Declaration and Principles of Trustee Conduct which include a commitment to good governance and to act with integrity and confirmation that they understand their roles and legal responsibilities and have read and understood the Charity Commission’s guidance The Essential Trustee (CC3).

Trustees’ report

for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

Public Benefit

The Trustees of the charity are committed to provide public benefit through pursuing its objective of “changed lives” whether this is materially, educationally, psychologically, or spiritually. Such benefit is continually monitored and evaluated, whilst those working for the charity are encouraged to find new and more effective ways of making this objective a reality. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE, AND MISSION EFFECTIVENESS

Christian Vision’s projects and activities have resulted in a range of positive outcomes within beneficiary communities, including the promotion of tolerance and racial unity, improved mental health, and the advancement of moral values. CV has also developed follow-up services to respond accordingly to individuals engaging with us through any of our initiatives, connecting them with local churches and ministries where appropriate.

Objective 1: Introducing People to Jesus

Online Evangelism

CV’s online evangelism initiatives leverage large social media platforms to present the message of Christ to digital audiences wherever they congregate.

In 2024, 1.5 billion (2023 - 1.3 billion) clear opportunities to explore the message of faith in Christ were offered, leading to 645 million introductions to Jesus (2023 - 404 million) by engaging with CV content presenting the Gospel message. This prompted 802,000 responses (2023 – 929,000) involving conversations (human and bot-led) about Jesus in private messaging channels. The daily goal of 1 million Introductions to Jesus was achieved on all 366 days of the year (2023 – 287 days).

Pioneering

CV currently supports pioneering projects in all four of its operational regions, achieving on-the-ground and digital impact through 680 pioneers (2023 - 436) serving in 45 countries (2023 - 42), amongst 216 people groups (2023 - 193). Largescale initiatives in Venezuela and Madagascar are now in their final phase of operations, which entails steering these projects towards long-term sustainability and transitioning them fully to local church ownership. A total of 1,516 new fellowship locations were established during 2024 (2023 – 802), and more than 8,600 believers were baptised (2023 – 4,074).

Increasingly, our pioneering work is done both in-person and digitally, or through a combination of these two approaches. As of the end of 2024 our digital pioneering work encompasses 73 languages (2023 – 39).

Objective 2: Mobilising Christians to evangelise

yesHEis

yesHEis is a global, online initiative aimed at training and equipping individual Christians to share their faith. In 2024 the number of followers and subscribers in these mobilisation communities on social media platforms grew to 6.7 million (2023 - 5.6m). More than 7,600 'Acts of Evangelism' (2023 – 5,600) were evidenced in community feedback, representing a fraction of evangelism by the community overall.

Most reports of Acts of Evangelism came from English-speaking countries, followed by Filipino, Indonesian, Ukrainian, and Korean members. Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish and Italian were added as yesHEis languages, making the number of languages 15 in 2024 (2023 – 11).

Objective 3: Resourcing the Church with free digital content and knowledge

CV Resources

CV Resources is an online space designed to increase effective evangelism globally. Our desire with this initiative is to freely resource the Church, in various languages, with high quality videos, digital assets and key learnings that will enable churches and ministries across the globe to achieve lasting, exponential impact.

By the end of 2024, 6,449 videos and training resources (2023 - 6,147) in 45 languages (2023 - 45) had been made freely available to churches and ministries for download. During the year there were 30,000 sign-ups and registrations to utilise these resources (2023 - 60,000) resulting in 170,000 video downloads (2023 - 135,000) and 25,000 completions of training content (2023 - 28,300).

In September 2024 the cvglobal.co website was relaunched as a site giving utility to church and ministry leaders, evangelism practitioners, and innovators, for the purpose of providing actionable and effective evangelism tools and strategies. This site has absorbed CV Resources which as a platform was closed by the end of the year. In the 3 months following launch the new platform had almost 1,000 users in 130 countries actively engaging with the articles and courses provided.

CV Prayer

In 2024, CV Prayer sent 12,580 emails and 33 newsletters—11 each in English, Spanish, and Portuguese— achieving a strong 37.22% open rate, well above the 21% industry average. Our global prayer partner community grew by 22%, with regional representation as follows: Americas 35%, Africa and the Middle East 30%, Asia Pacific 20%, and Europe 15%.

To support the September 2024 CV Conference in Athens and the new five-year plan (#5YP2030), CV Prayer launched an internal discipleship journey for staff and leaders, focusing on openness to the Holy Spirit. From February, monthly emails and weekly Prayer Teams posts delivered 80 slides featuring scripture and reflective prompts.

CV Prayer remains a vital expression of faith, connecting a growing global community in intercession and guiding internal spiritual formation. In 2024, it deepened alignment with God’s direction while using data and insight to enhance connection and impact.

CV Europe

As reported in the notes to the accounts, this subsidiary was established to carry out the mission activities of the charity in the UK and Europe. CV Europe began its activities on 1 January 2023 and is being funded in the same way as other subsidiary charities of the group which are based overseas.

FUNDRAISING POLICY

Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires CV to make a statement regarding fundraising activities because we have an external audit. The charity does not undertake any fundraising activities. No use is made of professional fundraisers or “commercial participators” or indeed any third parties to solicit donations.CV are therefore not subject to any regulatory scheme or relevant codes of practice, have not received any complaints in relation to fundraising activities and do not consider it necessary to design specific procedures to monitor such activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial results of the charity's activities are summarised on pages 21 to 42. The surplus for the year amounted to £15m (2023, deficit - £12.2m). Total investment income was £26.4m (2023 - £25.6m), representing a 3% increase on the 2023 figure. A donation of £5.1m (2023 - £nil) was received during this year. Resources expended were £22.8m (2023 - £20.6m). Fixed asset investments increased from £361m to £397m (shown in note 7). In conclusion, the year has seen an overall increase in the charity funds to £443m (2023 - £428m), movements in reserves detailed in note 14.

We hold fixed assets consisting of property and equipment that are used to further our charitable objectives. Details of all the acquisitions and disposals of fixed assets during the year are recorded in note 6 to the financial statements.

During 2025, prior to approval of the 2024 statutory accounts, an incident of suspected fraud was detected by the charity's internal financial controls. This prompted an investigation by the charity which identified further related instances of suspected fraud over a period of time. This has been treated seriously and was reported as a serious incident to the Charity Commission, who were kept informed during the course of the investigation. Third party expertise and legal support was engaged, and the Trustees are content with the steps taken and the assurance that has been provided via this process.

An initial assessment is that the financial impact of the suspected fraud is a combined loss of £1,741,913. Of this total, £647,189 relates to 2024 and £644,999 to 2023, with the remainder of £449,725 occurring between 2021 and 2022. This is pending conclusions to the findings of the ongoing investigation. As a result an amount of £644,999 in 2023, which had previously been reported as Expenditure on charitable activity, has been reclassified to Expenditure on other activities (note 4).

Investment Policy

Investment of Christian Vision's funds is managed to seek to achieve a target income return of in excess of 4% across the whole property portfolio with proper regard to the maintenance of real value with residual / vacant possession values at or close to the purchase price and as constrained by the terms of the donations received. Expertise within the Board and advisors in the property sector has guided investment decisions and a yield of 6% was achieved in 2024 (6% in 2023). This approach is reviewed annually, and the investment portfolio is regularly reviewed to ensure that capital gains are realised where appropriate and that income streams generated are both secure and durable.

During 2024 the property market improved slightly compared to 2023, the Trustees accepted an offer to sell the MAN Truck property in Trafford Park, Manchester for more than 35% above cost price. The charity was also offered a portfolio of five properties at 10% less than market price by a company within the IM Properties group and this acquisition was completed in late 2024; resulting in a donation of £5.1m being the excess of independently assessed market value above the price paid.

In addition, Brewin Dolphin Securities are appointed to manage equity investments with a view to producing an overall net yield of approximately 5%, and to grow the underlying asset base so that this keeps pace with inflation over the medium to longer term. The yield achieved during 2024 was 5.3% (2023 – 5.6%). The listed Investment portfolio was diversified during the year and as a result of market movements the total value went down to £62.6m (2023 - £67.2m). Overall, there was a loss on the capital value of listed investments in 2024 of £5.4m (see note 7).

Reserves Policy (Total reserves at the year-end are £443m)

The principal donors have informed the Trustees of Christian Vision that they are to build, with the donations they have received and will continue to make, a substantial expendable endowment to help ensure the longer-term financial security of the charity's activity. The Trustees aim to achieve, so far as reasonably possible taking account of market circumstances at the time of any investment and the investment policy described above, an income that is sufficient to meet on-going operational requirements for 12 months.

The Trustees are able, subject to any consent required in line with the terms on which donations are received, to draw funds from expendable endowments to meet the operational needs of the charity should income received from investments not meet outgoings. The unrestricted funds of the group as of 31 December 2024 are £14.8m (2023 - £11.2m) with cash balances of £32.7m and budgeted income in excess of £25m at the time of signing.

The notes to the accounts show the assets and liabilities attributable to the various activities and funds of Christian Vision. The net assets at the balance sheet date are sufficient to maintain commitments in those areas where Christian Vision has already established itself (as evidenced by the cashflow projections in the latest budget forecast), with no expectation of any further donations included in the charity’s current corporate plan.

The charity continues to be grateful for the assistance given to it over the years and especially through the donations of I.M. Group Limited and IM Properties Limited and their respective subsidiaries as well as the gift of time given by volunteers.

SECTION 172 STATEMENT (continued)

on the community and the environment; (e) the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and (f) the need to act fairly between members of the company.

The following is a statement by the Trustees in performance of their statutory duties in accordance with s172(1) of the Companies Act 2006. The Board of Trustees of Christian Vision consider, both individually and together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in s172(1) (a-f) of the Act) in the decisions taken during the year ended 31 December 2024. Christian Vision’s mission is focused on people, in the form of “changed lives;” people engaging people online or in person through pioneering initiatives.

The principal decisions taken by the Board during the year were:

SECTTION 172 STATEMENT (continued)

discussion, ask questions, and align their understanding with CV’s future direction. The initiative aimed to deepen organisational ownership of the strategy, ensure clarity around future priorities, and inspire a shared vision across all areas of the organisation.

This illustrates the way in which the Board has directed the charity and considered the impact of its decisions upon the different stakeholders identified by s172 of the Act.

STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING

In January 2023 the charity switched to using electricity generated from renewable sources only, thereby eliminating the CO2 emitted from its office accommodation.

As a result, the charity has consumed 40,000 kWh or less of energy during the financial year, including the combustion of fuel and the purchase of electricity, gas, or transport fuel. Therefore, the charity is exempt from the requirement to produce a detailed Energy and Carbon Report under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board of Trustees has ultimate responsibility for risk management, and consider that an embedded enterprise risk management approach, linked to objectives, will best serve the charity by promoting risk ownership via an overarching risk management framework.

The Principal Risks and the approach for mitigation, are considered by the Board of Trustees, with updates provided from the Executive functional leaders. The Audit & Risk Committee considers the operation of the overall risk management framework and reviews specific risk events.

The Principal Risks which CV consider are:

Governance

CV are mindful of the need for clearly defined governance arrangements, which are designed to meet the needs of the charity and its stakeholders. During 2024 a Director of Finance & Governance was appointed, with a remit that includes governance, compliance and risk. This supports the ongoing development of CV’s risk management approach.

The operating model has been further refined during 2025 to more formally recognise the role of the Investment Committee and the Audit & Risk Committee as part of this governance system.

Christian Vision (a company limited by guarantee)

Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

This approach ensures that accountabilities, relationships and the distribution of rights and responsibilities within CV are clearly defined. It determines the rules and procedures through which the organisation’s objectives are set and provides the means of attaining those objectives and monitoring performance.

Operational

As a global operation, CV pursues its mission to introduce people to Jesus and encourage them to become his true followers via a range of channels and locations.

It is mindful of the associated risks including those of safeguarding, working with external partners and data protection.

These risks are mitigated through risk ownership, policy and defined processes. The Audit & Risk Committee, in combination with reporting to the Board of Trustees provides a suitable governance framework, via which the operation provides assurance.

During 2025 CV pivoted to a functional structure, moving away from a regional basis. This facilitates the adoption of unified systems which promote consistent processes and will allow for enhanced reporting to be developed during 2026.

Financial

There is a clear focus on financial sustainability and stewardship. This includes planning over a 5-year horizon and the use of stressed scenarios to evidence the robustness of the charity’s finances and business plan.

The Investment Committee is supported by the attendance of external investment management and property management advisors, with an investment policy document in place setting out the aims and risk appetite of the charity. The level of risk within the investment portfolio is regularly monitored and considered against appetite.

Liquidity, currency and operational cash management risks are managed within the finance function with reporting provided to the relevant committees, including reporting of financial performance against plan.

Geo-political & Reputational

Damage to brand perception could affect CV’s ability to execute its mission effectively. The risk is mitigated by the charity’s governance, policies and working practices. Guidance is issued to staff to help to protect the organisation’s credibility and public trust.

During 2025, the revision of structure also introduced an external communications team which operates across the organisation as a whole – this facilitates a single tone of voice and communications consistently aligned to the organisations objectives and values. Content guidelines are also in place which assist with alignment to the charity’s brand values. Horizon scanning is also undertaken to review anything in the public domain relating to the charity.

CV is mindful of the range of political environments that it operates in – whilst remaining focused on its mission. Having a local presence and in person teams helps to mitigate this risk by ensuring CV has hands on experience and early indicators of any potential risks arising from the activities of the charity and its partners.

Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Legal & Regulatory

CV recognise the importance of complying with prevailing legal & regulatory requirements, in each of its jurisdictions of operation.

The structural changes made in 2025 introduced a specific Legal & Compliance component within the organisational structure – designed as a central point to support the organisation and leverage external legal support or consulting services as required. This enhances the charity’s ability to address and mitigate emerging risks, providing the appropriate level of expertise.

This approach compliments the assurance requirements of the Board of Trustees to fulfil their obligations and the requirements of the charity Commission as a key stakeholder.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

CV assesses its success using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) commensurate with its Mission Statement: “To introduce people to Jesus and encourage them to become His true followers”. This is reflected in the target to “Touch A Billion” which was in place up to December 2024 and included the following aspects:

The information gathered from the assessments of these KPIs is reflected in the comments above under “Achievements, Performance and Mission-Effectiveness’”. KPIs and appropriate means of assessment have been identified for use from 2025 onwards in connection with the priorities established by the Five-year plan #5YP2030.

CONCLUSION, FUTURE PLANS AND GOING CONCERN

The charity is actively working out the 5YP2030 recognising a pivotal moment in world evangelism, as previously mentioned. The charity intends to continue extending its activities into more countries, and into a substantial number of additional languages. Achievements and performance during 2024 point towards a strong growth trajectory and an increasing measure of impact in all regions of operation.

Operating results in 2025 align with the Five-Year Plan. The formulation of that Five-Year Plan during 2024 provided and continues to provide impetus for future expansion, and the launch and operationalisation of this strategic plan is a watershed moment, generating momentum towards increased reach. Despite great political and economic instability in some countries of operation, teams have remained steadfast, making meaningful progress despite practical challenges. In Ukraine, as an example, local teams continue to see significant impact despite challenges related to the conflict with Russia.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remain independent of the Group and the Parent Charitable Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Conclusions related to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group and the Parent Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine

Independent Auditor’s report (continued)

whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Other Companies Act 2006 reporting

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent Charitable Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatement in the Strategic Report or the Trustees’ Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent Charitable Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the Parent Charitable Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in

Docusign Envelope ID: 05EA8104-9A09-4DDA-909A-8BA1B35B5181

Christian Vision (a company limited by guarantee)

Independent Auditor’s report (continued)

accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with 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:

Non-compliance with laws and regulations

Based on:

We considered the significant laws and regulations to be the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, Charities SORP and tax legislation.

The Group is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example through the imposition of fines or litigations. We identified such laws and regulations to be employment law and data protection.

Our procedures in respect of the above included:

Fraud

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be posting of inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial results and management bias in accounting estimates. In addition, we considered revenue recognition an area to be susceptible to fraud, particularly in relation to the posting of journals to material revenue streams.

19

Docusign Envelope ID: 05EA8104-9A09-4DDA-909A-8BA1B35B5181

Christian Vision (a company limited by guarantee)

Independent Auditor’s report (continued)

Our procedures in respect of the above included:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including component engagement teams and remained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. For component engagement teams, we also reviewed the result of their work performed in this regard.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Charitable Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charitable Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties.

Going Concern

The Trustee Board has assessed the Going Concern status of the charity and prepared a Cash Flow Forecast for the period to 31 March 2027, which is a period of at least 12 months from the signing of these accounts. In the short term, Christian Vision have c. £32.7m cash at bank at the time of signing these statements which is enough to cover 18 months' worth of activity. In addition, income streams are carefully monitored daily to ensure timely collection of all amounts due. The Trustees consider the level of reserves (current and projected), the diversity of income streams, steps taken to mitigate risks, including cost reductions, assess that the charity will continue to work towards its charitable objectives over the next year and beyond. They therefore consider that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidation financial statements include the income and expenditure and asset and liabilities of Christian Vision and its subsidiary undertakings. The results of the subsidiary undertakings are consolidated on a line-by-line basis. The following overseas entities are considered to be within the operational control of the charity. In accordance with the SORP the charity's accounts include their results in full.

Christian Vision LLU Ukraine & CVC LLU Ukraine INGO One Hope Ukraine Christian Vision Americas Inc. Christian Vision South Africa CVC Network Limited CV Zambia CV Brazil CV Europe Limited

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets

Impairment of asset values is recognised in the accounts as soon as the Trustees become aware that the carrying value of assets is overstated when compared with their economic value.

Investment properties

Investment properties, in accordance with FRS 102, are revalued annually to open market value (fair value) and no depreciation is provided. Unrealised surpluses or deficits arising on revaluation of investment properties are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments

Investments are stated at their market value less provision for impairment. Any gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

Income

Incoming resources represents donations, amounts received under gift aid and rental income, net of value added tax.

Donations received for current and future revenue expenditure are treated as income in the year in which they are received. Taxation recovered under gift aid is accounted for on a receivable basis.

Investment income, including rental income, dividend income and bank interest, is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Expenditure

All expenditure, other than that which has been capitalised, is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is accounted for on an accrual's basis.

Resources expended includes all expenditure incurred in pursuance of the charitable objectives of the charity including projects. Indirect costs in respect of these have been treated as support costs. Non-charitable expenditure has been included within Expenditure on other activities, as set out in the Trustees report on page 10.

Cost apportionment

A proportion of management and administration expenses are attributed to cost of activities based on the time estimated to be spent by the employees.

Funds

Unrestricted Funds are available to be used at the discretion of the Trustees to further the general charitable purposes of the organisation. These funds provide essential flexibility, enabling the charity to respond to operational needs, support ongoing activities, and allocate resources where they are most required.

Restricted Funds may only be used for the specific purposes designated by the donor or funding body. These funds are allocated and managed strictly in accordance with the terms of each individual grant or donation. The principal donors have informed the Trustees of Christian Vision that they intend to build, through current and future donations, a substantial expendable endowment. This endowment is intended to support the longer-term financial security and sustainability of the charity’s activities.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Operating leases

Annual rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Rental income, adjusted for the effect of lease incentives, is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Foreign currency

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the actual rate of exchange on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year-end are accounted for at the rates prevailing at the year-end date.

Any gain or loss arising from a change in the rates of exchange subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Pension costs

Contributions to the company's defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they become payable.

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Trade debtors

At each reporting date, trade debtors are assessed for recoverability. If there is any evidence of impairment, the carrying amount of the debtor is reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Taxation

The company is a charity within the meaning of Para 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. No tax charge arose in the period.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities than that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from those estimates and underlying assumptions are continually reviewed.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss comprise fixed asset investments in a portfolio of listed company shares, which are valued at the quoted market price.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade debtors and other debtors that are recognised when there is entitlement to receive the funds.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprise trade creditors and other creditors that are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay the funds.

The prior year financial instruments note incorrectly classified cash and cash equivalents and current asset investments as a single balance within the note. In the current year, the balances have been separated to agree to the amounts recorded in the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheet. The impact of the reclassification has been to reduce the previously reported cash and cash equivalents balance by £46,171,552 for Group and Charity and to increase Investment – fixed deposit by the same amount. There is no impact to the previously reported totals of the note.
