INDEPEIYDEiYf EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
I report on the accounts of the Church for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 4
to9.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiller
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's Trustees consider
that an audit is not required lor this year {under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)}
and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts (under section 145) of the 201 l Act;
to follow the procedures laid dow'n in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
(under section 145 (5)(b) of the 201 l Act=
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's report
My examination was carrted out in accordance w ith the General Directions given by the Charity
Comtnissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison olthe accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such
matlers. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do not express an audil opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's qualified statement
In connection with tny examination. no matter5 have come to my attention"
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the ?0 I l Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord iiith the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 90 I l Act have not been met- or
to which. in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of
accounts to be reached for the year ended i l December 2024.
