Trustees' responsibilities
The constitution of the charity and charity law require the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing those accounts 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 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity. 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 with an appropriate system of internal controls.
Independent Examiner of the Trust is Yang & Partners trading as Archbird of Suite 41, Chessington Business Centre, 37 Cox Lane, Chessington, Surrey, KT9 1SD.

KOREAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN LONDON INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
We report on the accounts of Korean Catholic Church In London for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 3 to 7.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. The 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with our examination, no matters have come to our attention:
-
1) which give us reasonable cause to believe that ,in any material respect, the requirements:
-
i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
