ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST DISCIPLES FAITH MINISTRIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

We have examined the financial statements on pages 5 to 6, which have been prepared under the accounting policies set out on page 4 for the year ended 31 March 2025.

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 I 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: -

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; 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
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

CHRIST DISCIPLES FAITH MINISTRIES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 4 and comply with the charity’s trust deed and are applicable below.

Constitution and objects

Christ Disciples Faith Ministries is constituted under a trust deed and is a registered charity number 1064409.

The objects of the charity are worshipping of God, spreading the word and preaching the Gospel of Christ and the life after death. To contribute to the health and educational needs of the community.

Organisation

The trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out below: -

Rev. Stephen Popoola Rev. Samson Adeboye Adegboyega Re. Oluwole Adeleke Bella Rev. Rachel Popoola

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs and to respond to emergency applications for grants which arise from time to time. Unrestricted funds were maintained at this level throughout the year.

Risk Management

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

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 give 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.

Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:
