The Trustees look for persons of proven integrity who share the vision and objectives of the Trust and who have relevant wisdom and experience to contribute to the running of the charity.
Induction and training of trustees
Each new Trustee is provided with the relevant Charity Commission publications, a copy of the constitution and at a meeting with the Chairman, is fully briefed on the operation of the Trust and the responsibilities of Trustees.
Organisational structure
The Trust is served by a Board of Trustees. There are no employees.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Achievements and performance
Review of activities
With the COVID 19 pandemic restrictions still in pace in many countries we were able to continue with the Virtual Build leadership conferences across Africa and Europe. More languages were included and the distribution network for the pre-recorded USB keys was substantially increased which resulted in an estimated 100,000 church leaders having the opportunity to hear the life changing Bible teachings.
As the year progressed, there were opportunities for the team to travel to East and West Africa to hold physical conferences which were all very well attended.
The highlight of the year was the International Conference held on the Island of Mauritius which saw leaders come from over 50 different countries to participate in this event. First time delegates from Ukraine, Niger, Eswatini and Zambia were also among those who attended. It was also an opportunity to plan for the upcoming year taking into account the opening of most countries worldwide after the pandemic.
In conclusion it should be noted that all funds raised to help CTMI in accomplishing its objectives were well spent.
Financial review
The charity recorded a surplus of £9,859 for the year (2021: deficit £5,311). At the year end there was a balance of £75,288 (2021: £65,429) in reserves to be carried forward, of which £10,868 was in Unrestricted funds and £54,420 was in Restricted funds.
Policy on reserves
The Trust does not accrue any liabilities or running costs and therefore does not require any financial reserves.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Statement of Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
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 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 proper accounting records that 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 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The Trustees 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.
The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the charity on 12 September 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
