4 Plans for future periods
The main objectives for 2025 are set out on page 1. The charity plans to continue its current strategies to reach increasing numbers of people with the love of Christ and to see The King’s House School, Windsor expand steadily in the provision of excellent Christian education.
5 Financial review
-
Financial Our financial objective for the year was to grow income and control costs to achieve break-even, keeping Objectives reserves stable at close to 1.8 months of expenditure (having expended reserves the previous two years). Income Total income for the year grew to £1,555,000 (2023: £1,452,000) including donations and legacies of £1,167,000 (2023: £1,138,000) which comprised (note 2):

-
Expenditure | Expenditure for the year was kept within 2% of prior year at £1,471,000 (2023: £1,444,000):
-
e Local church expenditure was £816,000 (2023: £759,000) including an inflationary increase for staff and £16,000 higher utility bills following global price rises and the end of our previous 3 year agreement. The latter impacted property costs but was successfully offset by savings made: in particular moving Sunday services to new lower cost venues.
-
Costs of The King’s House School, Windsor were £399,000 (2023: £395,000): and tightly controlled to stay within the total of fee income, school donations and the budgeted use of general donations (from our ‘Vision Appeal’).
-
e Partnership and conference costs were £254,000 (2023: £290,000) including grants of £85,000 (2023: £106,000) which are listed in note 6.
-
Of the above costs £830,000 (2023: £807,000) were staff costs (note 5) with the number of staff remaining stable at 18.0 (2023: 17.5).
-
Financial Overall the charity made a surplus of £84,000 (2023: £9,000) including a £55,000 (2023: £52,000) increase Result, in restricted funds and £29,000 increase (2023: £43,000 reduction) in unrestricted funds. Total funds at 31 Funds and October 2024 amounted to £3,627,000 (2023: £3,543,000) the main components of which were (note 14): Reserves e Property funds of £1,043,000 (2023: £994,000) which increased by £49,000 (2023: £39,000) as we continue to grow resources to enable church activities to have their own dedicated property/properties.
-
e The Kids Klub Fund which remains at £51,000: retained to facilitate future children’s ministry.
-
¢ The G12UK Fund remains in deficit at £4,000 (2023: £10,000) having been reduced following the success of the 2024 G12 UK Conference.
-
e A General Fund of £2,513,000 (2023: £2,486,000). The General Fund consists of Fixed Assets, Loans and Reserves.
Reserves (the General Fund excluding tangible fixed assets and the loans secured on those assets) increased by £17,000 (2023: decline of £33,000) to £218,000 (2023: £201,000). Our policy, in order to maintain adequate finance for the charity's activities, is that Reserves should amount to between 1 and 4 months’ expenditure (net of depreciation). At 31 October 2024 Reserves equated to 1.8 months’ expenditure (2023: 1.8 months) which is within policy.
Investments — The Property Fund is invested in interest earning bank deposits. The return on these investments is reviewed periodically to ensure a good rate is being earned. The charity continues to investigate possible properties for the expansion of its activities and the funds are therefore kept in a relatively liquid form so they can be accessed if required.

| Risk Management |

| A reliance on voluntary donations | |
| Voluntary giving accounts forover75% ofthe charity’s income and would be affected by achange in the | |
| number of, or financial circumstances of, donors. This risk is mitigated by the very stable and committed | |

| committed to the principle oftithing: giving at least 10% oftheir income to the local church. Measures to | |
| reduce risk include the preparation ofweeklyand monthlyincome reports so managementcan take prompt | |

| providing a mechanism fordonors to respond promptly toany financial challenges and giving them asense | |
| ofpartnership in the charity's financial health. The charity also operates a strong budgeting system to | |
| ensure costs are kept in line with income and discretionary expenditure is reviewed regularly so spending | |
| isonlyauthorisedwhenincomeissufficient. |
The safety of children
Through The King’s House School, Windsor and its church activities for children and youth, the charity provides many services to children. Keeping children safe from harm is a top priority and the charity has therefore implemented a Safeguarding Policy for Children and Young People. This includes regular mandatory safeguarding training and Disclosure and Barring Service checks for all staff involved in children’s activities and all those with a senior position in the charity. The Board of Trustees monitor safeguarding measures to ensure the Safeguarding Policy is being fully implemented. Importance of the senior leadership team The church's growth, charity's strong momentum, and donors’ loyalty are in large part due to the inspirational and visionary leadership of the church’s Senior Pastors. The risk of losing such leadership has therefore been mitigated by developing a strong team of spiritual leaders and by a policy that, when a sizeable group of leaders is travelling, they do not all travel together. Spiritual The spiritual leaders of the church comprise the Senior Pastors, Wes and Adriana Richards, together with Leaders a team of twelve men and twelve women who oversee the pastoral care of church members and the programme of Christian teaching and provide spiritual direction to the church.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
KING’S CHURCH INTERNATIONAL
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of King’s Church International for the year ended 31 October 2024 which comprise of the Statement of Financial Activity, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cashflows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 October 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 are independent of the charity 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating 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 charity'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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
e the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
e the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
KING’S CHURCH INTERNATIONAL
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 8, the trustees 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act.
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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 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.
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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.
Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities:
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the charity by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in which the charity operates.
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the charity include the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Audit response to risks identified:
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the charity's records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the charity's policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations with members of management responsible for compliance.
During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve noncompliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner's review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, 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 or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www. frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS year ended 31 October 2024
KING'S CHURCH INTERNATIONAL
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared using the historical cost basis of accounting and in accordance with the Charities Acts 2011, with FRS 102 and with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. King’s Church International meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Incoming resources
Income is accounted for as soon as the charity is entitled to it, the receipt is probable and the amount can be quantified.
Donations and legacies
Most donations are therefore accounted for in the period they are received. Gift Aid on donations is accounted for in the same period as the donation to which it relates.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of: the date the money is received or the date the charity is aware probate has been granted and notification has been received from the executor(s) that a distribution will be made. Furthermore legacy income is only regarded as probable once any conditions attached to it have been met or are within the control of the charity.
Donated assets and services
Assets donated to the charity are included in the accounts at their market value at the date of the gift. Services donated by commercial organisations are accounted for at commercial market value in the period in which they are performed: The charity also benefits from many hours of service by many committed individual volunteers. No amounts are included in the accounts for these services as they cannot be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Interest income is accounted for in the period in which it was earned.
Income from activities is accounted for in the period when the activity generating the income takes place. School fees are charged on a monthly basis and income is recognised in the month to which it relates.
Resources expended
Recognition of liabilities
Costs are accounted for on an accruals basis.
Grants made
Grants made are accounted for when they are paid, or if a commitment to pay is communicated to the recipient, they are accounted for when that communication occurs.
Classification of expenditure
Costs are classified using the headings prescribed by SORP 2019. Staff costs are allocated to these headings based on an estimate of the time spent by each person.
Costs of raising funds
Investment management costs include an estimate of the time spent by senior staff in managing the charity's investments.
Costs of charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities are the costs of the activities described in the Trustees' Report.

KING'S CHURCH INTERNATIONAL
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Support costs (including Governance)
Costs such as accounting or IT do not form part of the charitable activities but provide a support to them. These costs are allocated to the relevant charitable activities, or other expenditure headings, as explained in note 4.
Governance costs form part of Support costs and relate to the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with statutory requirements. They include the cost of preparing the annual accounts, the annual audit, legal and other professional advice taken by the trustees, and any costs of trustee meetings. They also include the cost of staff time spent on these activities.
Tangible fixed assets
Assets that are to be used over several years and costing more than £2,000 are capitalised at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful life:
Audio-visual equipment is depreciated over 3 to 5 years.
Fixtures, fittings, IT and office equipment are depreciated over 2 to 8 years.
Land is not depreciated.
Buildings are not being depreciated as their residual value is considered not to be materially below historic cost, except for storage outbuildings and modular buildings which are depreciated over 10 years.
Building improvements are depreciated over 2 to 10 years.
The carrying value of fixed assets is reviewed at least once a year so that, if applicable, any impairment in value can be reflected in the accounts.
Fund accounting
Restricted funds
Donations or grants given to the charity for a specific purpose are held in a restricted fund and applied only for the purposes specified by the donors. Any interest earned on cash or investments belonging to a restricted fund are added to that fund. The restricted funds are listed and described in note 14.
Unrestricted funds
All funds other than restricted funds are shown as unrestricted funds.
Leases
Rentals from operating leases (where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor) are accounted for as they are incurred.
Pension costs
The charity contributes to a defined contribution workplace pension plan for its employees. The contributions are accounted for in the period the employee earned the entitlement to them.
Redundancy costs
The cost of any staff redundancy is accounted for when the decision has been made and the employee has been informed and the amount can be calculated with reasonable accuracy.
VAT
The charity is not able to recover the VAT it is charged by suppliers. Consequently VAT is treated as an expense and charged against the same category and period as the purchase to which it relates.

The charity has a bank loan secured by first legal charge over 75 Frances Road, Windsor which was drawn in January 2014 and is repayable over 20 years with interest charged at 2.25% above the Bank of England base rate. The loan was obtained to assist with the purchase and renovation of 75 Frances Road, Windsor.
The creditors figures for 2023 have been restated to separate 'trade creditors' from ‘other creditors’.
13 Inter fund loan
To maximise returns on the Property Fund and minimise the general charity's borrowing costs, the Property Fund made a loan of £680,000 in November 2018 to the charity's General Fund. Interest is charged at the Bank of England's base rate and included within ‘Transfers between funds' on the Statement of Financial Activities. The General Fund holds the £680,000 in legal trust for the Property Fund and if 75 Frances Road, Windsor were to be sold the loan would be repaid (and may be repaid sooner).
