INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the Trustees of Triumphant Church International on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021 set out on pages 8 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 the 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 qualified statement:

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

| have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

COVID 19

We thought to mention this to the annual report for the 2021 account. Covid19 affected the Church in numerous ways, key amongst all was the fact that due to lockdown and Government Stay Home instructions, church members have not had the total freedom of worshipping together physically, praying together physically and receiving the face to face support that many have enjoyed for years. As Pastors of the Church, counselling, prayers, of members was always paramount and not being able to do that face to face, for these number of months has been a major issue.

However despite the regulations, we managed under strict compliance to policies of masking, social distancing and sanitizing etc to do the following community and member programmes

  1. We set up Welfare Funds where members, their families and members of the community could access without too much probing for their basic needs of feeding, electricity and gas bills.

  2. We continued to run our Five Loaves Food bank and served our community all through the pandemic and lockdown

  3. We supported the elderly and sick within our community with shopping

  4. We continued our Christmas Angels serving over 270 families in London and Basildon Essex with Whole Turkeys, Christmas groceries and gifts.

  5. Members of our community mentioned Triumphant Church International to the BBC Songs of Praise team who came to film our Christmas outreach to our community.

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Investment gains and losses

This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

Changes in Accounting policies and previous accounts

The charity has opted to follow the SORP (FRSSE) for the financial year ending 31 March 2016. The comparative figures have been restated to reflect the requirements of Charity reporting. There is no effect on the results for the year ended 31 March 2016 or the net assets at 31 March 2016.

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 20% Plant and equipment 20% Motor vehicles 20%

No depreciation is charged to freehold property as the property is maintained to such a standard that the estimated residual value is not less than cost.
