METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
Due consideration is given to what is needed to make the Board and commitee as effective as can be. Also care is taken to ensure the board has the right mix of skills and experience to discharge its duties and ensure effective governance and management. Trustees serve a term of two years which is renewable at the discretion of the Board; however, in exceptional cases Trustee may be asked to stay on for more than four years.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each fianacial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended for that year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to;
●select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently,
●make judgement and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
●prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the
3
assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud.
RISK MANANGEMENT
Trustees take seriously their responsibility to assess and manage the major risks that the charity faces and review them regulaly. A formal risk management process is in place to ensure risks are identified and appropraite mitigation actions are taken- this is captured in our Risk Management Policy.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
a. RESERVE POLICY
Christ Apostolic Church unrestricted reserves comprise the general fund which can be spent on any purpose of the charity and are avilable to meet future demands on the charity's resources. The trustees have determined that it would be prudent to maintain three months of expenditure to meet core expenses of the church.
b. PRINCIPAL FUNDING
Individual donations and gifts continue to be the main source of income, including Gift aids credits.

CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH SURREY DOCKS INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
I report on the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set set out on pages 4 to 5.
Respective resposibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. [The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by been a qualified member of Association of Chartered Certfied Accountants.
It is my responsisblity to:
. examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- . to follow the procedure laid down in the General Direction given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and;
.to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusua items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustee concerning any such matters. The procedure undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequetly 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 my examination, no matter has come to my attention
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met.
