TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The Charity Act 1993 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 these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
1) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
2) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
3) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993.
The charity's policy is to retain reserves, in the form of unrestricted funds, to a level where they equate in value approximately 12 months expenditure. This should provide a reasonably secure financial base on which to plan future projects and commit to related expenditure, before external funding has been fully secured. At this level, PHCC would be able to continue its current level of activities in the event of a significant drop in funding.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued March 2005) and in accordance with the Charities Act 1993.
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees report above.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF PRAISE HARVEST COMMUNITY CHURCHFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on the following pages which have been prepared based on the accounting policies shown in the corresponding pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)), does not apply. It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 43(3) of the 1993 Act. Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction given by the Charity Commissioner’s. An examination included a review of the accounting records kept. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts. And seeking examinations from you as trustees concerning any matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and as a result I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In accordance with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me a reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting record in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and
-
- to prepare which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act.
Have not been met
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of Accounting
- The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, Charities SORP2005 (Accounting and Reporting by Charities) and comply with the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 20085 issued under the Charities Act 1993 (as amended Charities Act 2006)
1.2 Incoming Resources
Voluntary incomes are received by way of donations and are recognised as incoming resources when receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered. Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised.
Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Liability recognition: Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Support Costs: Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
