ACCOUNTANTS’ AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
I report on the Accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] October 2020, as are set out on pages 15-19.
As Trustee of the company, you are required by statute to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its profit or loss for that period. In preparing those accounts you must:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
As the Charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
It is your responsibility to keep proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any particular time the financial position of the company. It is also your responsibility to safeguard the assets of the company and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of and detection of fraud and other irregularities with an appropriate system of internal controls.
You are also responsible for determining whether, in respect of the year concerned, the company meets the conditions for exemption from audit set out in Section 249A of the Companies Act 1985, and for determining whether, in respect of the year, the exemption is not available for any reasons set out in Section 249B of the Companies Act 1985
Our work did not constitute an audit of the accounts in accordance with Auditing Standards. Accordingly, we did not seek any independent evidence to support the entries in the accounting records, or to prove the existence, ownership or valuation of assets or completeness of income, liabilities or disclosure in the accounts. Nor did we assess the reasonableness of any estimates or judgements made in the preparation of the accounts. Consequently, our work will not provide any assurance that the accounting records are free from material misstatement, irregularities or error. In the course of our work, we have placed reliance on the information and representations provided by you, or your representatives.

WORLD RESTORATION MINISTRIES (RESTORATION CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL) STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP), with FRS 102 and with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
In preparing the financial statements the charity has applied FRS 102 (March 2018) and the amendments to the Charities SORP set out in Update Bulletin 2 (issued in October 2018) before their effective date of periods commencing 1 January 2019.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
(B) Going Concern
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
(C) Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
Transitional arrangements for the charity presenting this financial statement under FRS 102 for the first time had been incorporated and that, no comparative items was needed. No restatements nor reconciliations were required.
(D) Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. The charity maintains only a general unrestricted fund, which represents funds that are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
(E) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Where income has related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income), the income and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Donations, grants and gifts are recognised when receivable. In the event that a donation is subject to fulfilling performance conditions before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Income from Gift Aid tax reclaims
11
WORLD RESTORATION MINISTRIES (RESTORATION CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL) STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
is recognised for any donations with relevant Gift Aid certificates recognised in income for the year. Any amounts of Gift Aid not received by the year-end are accounted for in income and accrued income in debtors.
Income received in advance for a future fundraising event or for a grant received relating to the following year are deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Interest on deposit funds held is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity which is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Sponsorship from events, fundraising and events registration fees are recognised in income when the event takes place.
(F) Donated Goods and Services
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. There were no donated goods and services recognised during the year.
(G) Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and analysed based on the alternative approach for smaller charities - nature of the expenditure.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
(H) Volunteers
The value of the services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements.
(I) Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful economic lives.
Church and Office equipment at 25% straight line basis.
The need for any impairment of a fixed asset write-down is considered if there is concern over the carrying value of an asset and is asses by comparing that carrying value against the value in use or realisable value of the asset when appropriate.
12
WORLD RESTORATION MINISTRIES (RESTORATION CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL) STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020
(J) Cash at Bank and In Hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
(K) Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
(l) Taxation
The charitable company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purpose only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity and is, therefore, included in the costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
