Public Benefit
CVM exists to proclaim the Christian gospel by working with churches to introduce men in the
UK to Jesus Christ, and operates across the nation wherever churches seek to develop their
outreach to their communities and beyond.
In compiling this report the Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the public
benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
CVM believes that the Christian faith is a benefit to society and individuals through
transforming men's lives and the impact on themselves, their families and society as a whole.
CVM works with churches and partner organisations to tackle many social issue5 that are
primarily a problem with/ for men. Violence against women (Restoredl,. working to asslst men
addicted to pornography (Naked Truth and Azalea Flintl,. sponsorship of children across the
world (Compassionl,. encouraging men to engage with some of the most deprived social
areas in the UK (Edge Network),. encouraging men in the area of making marriage work
(Engage forum). This list indicates that CVM works out it5 Public Benefit in a number of ways
and seeks to demonstrate this benefit through its activities in the UK as detailed throughout
the Trustees report.
Financial review.
The acc(unts show a significant increase in income of £206k up to £61 I k12021 £405kl. This
once again is entirely due to the charity's major event Thhe Gathering), however unlike
previous 2 years the event went ahead. This was a significant step forward post pandeynic and
the income increase reflects that many people agreed with the Boards decision to go ahead
with large ticket sales
This was also mirrored as usual by higher specific expenditure for the same reason. The board
worked very hard to deliver the event at a decreased cost base in order to mitigate any risk of
lower ticket volumes. CVM'S net income therefore wa5 again positive1£49kl, further having the
effect of covering off all remaining caiiied fomard10sses. CVM lind5 Itself in a strong financial
position at the end of this year.
Material costs were again reviewed and where appropriate taken out of the charity on an
ongoing basis. As a consequence and continuing previous years direction, cash improved
materially, this time by a larger £45k12021 £23kl. The board of Trustees feel confident that
future physical The Gathering, events will continue to go ahead and cost reviews done for the
event will create a sustainable model to take fonward.
Reserves policy
The Trustees, policy is to aim to retain sufficient reseNe5 to meet commitments in case the
charitable company ceased to operate.
PagelOof28

Investment policy
There are no specific restrictions on the Trustees, investment powers. CVM has no long-term
investments or endowments. Cash surplus to monthly requirements is held in two savings
accounts.
Risk analysis
Risk management IS the process of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the
adverse effect of accidental losses upon CVM. The risk management process is vital to the
personal health and safety of employees and the ￿fetY of the public. In financial terms, it is
vit31 to our ability to pursue our goals, commence and operate piograms and events, and to
work out our Charitable Aim in an efficient and professional manner.
The Trustees of CVM have put in place a risk management strategy to pursue our risk
management goals and objectives. These goals and objectives include..
1. Avoiding exposure to accidental Ioss by not undertaking events, contracts, 01 activities
where the potential loss is greater than the potential benefit to be derived from these
undertakings.
2. Preventing loss by identifying potential10s5 exposures and implementing policies and
procedures to reduce the risk of these losses occurring.
3. Controllinglosses that do occur by..
a. Developing contingency plans for possible loss scenarios
b. Proper documentation and investigation of losses
4. Raising the awareness of all Trustee board members, employees, and volunteers
concerning risk management within CVM. These goals and objectives are..
a. A Risk Management Committee led by the Operations Director, whose
responsibilities are to implement, monitor, evaluate and revise plans to achieve
our goals and objectives.
b. Financial risk management is monitored by the Executive staff and any risks
forthcoming are reported to the Chairman ofThe Trustees by the Executive
Staff.
c. Risk Management IS a Standing item for discussion at each weekly team
meeting.
5. Cooperation is needed from all Trustees, employees and volunteers. Only by working
as a team with common goals and objectives can we ensure the success of this risk
management strategy and its part in working out our aims and vision.
6. CVM will continue to assess the risks due to the COVID pandemic in accordance with
Government Guidelines and advice.

reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity, and which enable them to ascertain
the financial position of the charity and which enable5 them to ensure that the financial
statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

auditors are unaware and they have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have
taken as trustee5 to make themselve5 aware of any relevant audit information and to establish

CONTINUED TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRISTIAN VISION FOR MEN
Extent to which the audit wa$ considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
In Identifying and assessing risks of tnaterial misstatement in respect of Irregularities, Induding fraud and nOn-COtnplian￿ with laws and
regulations, we considered the following..
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the charitable ompany, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the
financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on Its operations Key laws and regulations that we Identified Induded the UK
Companies Act, Charities and Trustee Investment Iscodandl Act 2005, regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts Iscotlandl Regulatson5 2006,
tax legislation and occup8tion81 health and employment legislation.
.We enquired of the trustees. reviewed correspondence and reviewed trustees meeting minutes for evidence of non-compliance with
relevant laws and regulations. We also ￿vieWed controls the trustees have In pla￿ to ensure complian￿.
We gained an understanding of the controls that the trustees have in place to prevent and detect fiaud. We enquired about any
incidences of fraud that had t8ken place during the 8ccounting period.
The risk of fraud and non-compliance with law8 and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned
and perfomied to address these risks. We identified the potential for fffjud in the following areas. misappropriation of cash and other assets
We ￿vieWed financial statement disclosu￿$ and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and
regulation5 discussed above.
We enquired of the trustees about actual and potential litigation and dairns.
In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we te$led the appropriateness of journal entries and
assessed whether the judgements made In making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias.
We performed analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risk of material mis$tatemenl
due to fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material
misstatement in the financial statements or non-complian￿ wth regulation. This risk Increases the rn0￿ that Complian￿ with a law or
regulation is removed trorn the events and trsnsaction5 reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become awsre of
instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregul8rilie$ occurring due lo fraud rather than error. as fraud involves
intentional GOn￿alMent. forgery, collusion. omission or misreprtsenlation.
A further description of our responsibilities forthe audit of the financial statetnents Is located on the Financial Reporting Council's websrte
at.. www.frc.org.uklauditDrsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding. among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings. Induding any significant deficiencies in Internal control that we identify during our audit
