Board of Trustees’ Report

The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the audited financial statements for the Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) Charity which incorporates a Directors’ Report and Strategic Report as required by company law (Company Registration No. 05036122, Charity Registration No. England & Wales 1102114, Charity Registration No. Scotland SC048359) and its subsidiary (the Group) for the twelve months ended 31 March 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements and comply with the Charity’s governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.

Structure, Governance and Management

Legal Structure

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 5 February 2004 and registered as a Charity on 16 February 2004. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association dated 5 February 2004 and most recently updated on 21 March 2018. In the event of the company being wound up the members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The Directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of Trustees’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 21 to the financial statements.

Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Trustees are elected to serve under a programme of rolling retirement. At every AGM one-third of the trustees must retire from office; they may offer themselves for re-appointment at the AGM. The Appointment and Retirement of Trustees is covered in the Articles of Association under clauses 61 to 71.

Key Management Personnel

The more traditional corporate business and financial skills are well represented on the board. The day-to-day management of the Charity is delegated to the Senior Management Team (SMT) which comprises professionals from all relevant disciplines. Members of the SMT report variously to the Board and also to the different subcommittees, charged with responsibility for particular areas of operation. The Trustees are responsible for setting the pay and remuneration of the charityʼs key management personnel. This is benchmarked against not for profit and similar sectors. The Trustees are ultimately responsible for directing and controlling the Charity. The Trustees and the Senior Management Team are the key management personnel of the Charity.

Trustee Induction and Training

Most trustees are familiar with the workings of the church and Charity being drawn from long-standing church members and Christians from other denominations that have a skill set to offer and an empathy with our core values.

New trustees are invited and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions led by the Chair of the Board and the COO. These cover: -

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st] March 2024

An information pack has been prepared drawing from various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission’s guide “the Essential Trustee”; this is given to all new Trustees along with the latest financial statements and Memorandum & Articles. Additionally, on an ongoing basis, all Trustees are encouraged to attend training seminars provided by external organisations.

Related parties and co-operation with other organisations

None of our trustees received remuneration or other benefits from their work with the charity. Nine trustees of the charity gave voluntary donations totalling £49,454 to the charity in the year (2023: Nine trustees - £56,445).

The charity made purchases of £2,479 (2023:£998) from Ceries Technology Limited in the year for IT services. Ceries Technology Limited is a company controlled by Trustee and Director Mayomi Anuwe. The amount owing to Ceries Technology Limited at the year-end was £Nil (2023: £Nil).

Corporate Governance

The full Board holds 4 scheduled meetings per annum with additional meetings held when required. Whilst retaining its responsibilities for the overall strategy and policies of the church, the Trustees delegate the day-to-day management to the Chief Executive Officer – Dr Dipo Oluyomi and the Senior Management Team.

The Trustees have set up sub-committees for Finance & Audit, Property, Human Resources, Communications & Marketing, Events & Community as well as the Chairman’s Special Action Committee to deal with specific matters. These sub-committees are responsible for ensuring the effectiveness of the internal controls.

Organisational Structure of the Charity

A hierarchical reporting structure has been established which provides for a documented and auditable trail of accountability. These procedures are relevant across all operations and provide for successive levels of authority to be given at higher levels of management and finally to the Trustees.

Management report regularly to the Trustees on their assessment of risks and how they are managed, enabling the Trustees to review key risks inherent in the organisation, and the system of control necessary to manage such risks.

The SMT report to the board on significant changes in the business and the external environment that affect risks. The Director of Finance and Compliance provides the Board with periodic financial information. The other SMT members report to the Board periodically. Where areas for improvement are identified, the Board considers the recommendations made by the SMT.

The Board consists of no less than 8 Trustees, and no maximum has been set. At each Annual General Meeting, one-third retire by rotation according to length of service since their last appointment or reappointment, or by lot if several were last reappointed on the same day. Unless the Board proposes alternatives, the retiring Trustees shall be deemed to have been reappointed.

Members include Church Members (who are not entitled to vote at General Meetings), and Company Law Members. All Members are admitted after applying to the Board and gaining their approval. A Company Law Member may be removed by a 75% majority of Trustees voting at a Board meeting, or if he or she ceases to be a Trustee.

2

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st] March 2024

Company Law Members comprise the Trustees (as set out on page 14), the Senior Pastor and up to 4 other individuals appointed each year at a meeting of the Church Leaders. The Senior Pastor is the spiritual visionary and leader of the Charity, and may at any time withdraw and nominate a successor to be appointed by the Board. The Church Leaders include all Pastors, Ministers, Deacons and other persons that the Charity recognises as leaders of its church.

All votes are decided on a show of hands, with the chairman having an additional casting vote in the event of equality.

KICC has the following subsidiaries;

Staff and volunteers

The effort, commitment and skills of our staff and volunteers are at the heart of our organisation. Incoming staff attend a full induction programme including familiarisation with our various policies and procedures such as our Health and Safety Policy. Some of our long-standing staff and volunteers have worked with us for considerable periods contributing invaluable time and skills, not to mention institutional memory, to the organisation.

KICC also has strong volunteer support. As part of the Christian ethos of “the Giving of Time and Talents” we are pleased that so many of our members volunteer to help in all the different areas of our community outreach programmes.

We have approximately 600 volunteers who work an average of 6 hours per week. This equates to some 187,200 manhours per annum. If one applies the national living wage (for over 23-year-olds) of £10.42 per hour; the cash value to the charity of the volunteer force is some £1,950,624 per annum.

Objects and Aims

The main purpose for which the Charity is established is the advancement of the Christian religion. The narrative in the following pages detail how the aims and objects are carried out for the public benefit.

The Charity’s Public Benefit

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s Guidance on the Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit in preparing the Trustees’ Report and the following pages of the report show in some detail how this has been achieved. In summary the Trustees are pleased to report our headline activities as follows: -

We provide and maintain buildings for Christian church services at 15 (2023: 15) UK locations, mainly in the Greater London area and also including Cambridge, Luton, Oxford and Wolverhampton. Many venues have additional meeting rooms for teaching children and young people.

We raise awareness and understanding of the Christian faith by various means including producing religious books, CD’s and DVD’s and through KICC TV. We also promote the study of religious teachings and practices with various Conferences. Our 5-day International Gathering of Champions (IGOC) conference, held in August 2023, attracted thousands of people viewing and participating online from various countries.

As part of their pastoral remit our Ministers and Pastors look after the spiritual wellbeing of the members and adherents at the main church, branches and chapels which includes the regular conduct of christening ceremonies, marriages and funerals.

Seeking new followers or adherents – our Evangelism Team regularly go out to preach the Gospel in a variety of locations including streets and shopping centres. This missionary and outreach work includes welfare, visiting the sick and those in prisons and hospital. Other cultural and community activities include a legal counselling service and a free telephone help, advice and prayer line.

All KICC’s activities are available to Christians and non-Christians, members and non-members alike; there is no bar to attendance. The wider community have been particularly attracted to KICC’s services celebrating traditional Christian festivals including Easter, Christmas and New-Year’s Eve (Watch-Night) services. The following report covers our activities in more detail.

Community Activities/ Public Benefit

Overview

KICC is an international organisation with very deep roots within its local community and welcomes all. At its very heart is the Christian mandate to demonstrate the love of our Lord Jesus Christ through our commission to meet the total needs of the total person – spirit, soul and body – at every age level. This underpins the wide range of voluntary services offered to the community.

Over the last year, these services have included: legal counselling, career advice, pre-marital and marital counselling, bereavement counselling, welfare provision and support, extra curriculum educational support, parenting classes, youth work and many more which are delivered by our members, many of whom are highly skilled and professionally qualified, under the spiritual leadership of our Pastoral Board.

Objectives, Strategies and Activities

Our Community Services

Prisons Ministry

The Prison Ministry monthly visits to Pentonville carried on during the year and continues to be well received by the inmates and chaplains alike.

Befriending Ministry (including to the Homeless)

Our befriending teams visited the homeless in Walthamstow and Kent every month. Befriending meetings were held and meals were prepared and given to the residents. Our teams also visited care homes in the Kent and South East areas of the UK where we befriended the elderly residents through the ministry of songs and encouraging them.

Noah’s Ark Food Bank

Noah’s Ark Food Bank (NAFB) has been running for 9 years. It provides provisions and other essentials to cater for the needs of church members and to a greater extent to local communities in London and Kent. An average of 342 food bags per month were given to recipients (comprising individuals and families) benefitting from this initiative. The Food Bank provided meals to disadvantaged children in Breakfast Clubs in schools in the Kent area during the school holidays. The operations of the NAFB include Noah’s Ark, Cares and Community Kitchen.

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st] March 2024

Legal Counselling

Legal counselling sessions were held to assist anyone needing legal advice or support in areas including immigration, employment, and family among others.

Career Counselling

Workshops and counselling surgeries were run, which among other things, helped with CV writing and improving interview skills.

Hope-Line Telephone Service

Hope-Line department offered a daily free telephone service to any caller. The support requested by callers was mostly for counselling and/or prayer. About 267 calls a month were handled.

Pastor-on-Call

The Pastor-on-Call Service gave the opportunity for anyone to call and speak to one of our pastors or ministers on pressing/weighty matters and/or to make an appointment for face-to-face counselling sessions.

Pre-Marital and Marital Counselling

Biblically based advice and solutions were offered to members on an appointment basis. The attendees were made to understand that all counselling given was in consonance with the ministry’s beliefs and biblical adherence.

Social Media Prayer and Counselling Access

Our streaming services continue, giving thousands the opportunity to receive prayer and other support. Access to this ministry has been through all our social media channels, as well as the church’s website and app.

There are 5 weekday morning meetings online every week, in addition to some evening meetings including our regular mid-week meeting, and of course, our regular Sunday daytime and evening services. Through our social media platforms, our audience have been able to receive comfort and hope.

Christmas Hamper Challenge

The Christmas Hamper Challenge, which has been running for several years, gave our church members the opportunity to partner together with our corporate office to provide 1100 hampers containing 21 items of Christmas fare including a turkey to disadvantaged families at Christmas. The hampers were distributed in the Kent and London area, either directly to these families or through a number of charities who collected the hampers from us and distributed them.

‘Christmas Unwrapped’ Carol Concert and Service (at Prayer City)

This Christmas event was initiated in December five years ago and is set to hold annually. The Christmas Carol Concert in conjunction with Churches Together in Medway was held on 10[th] December 2023. It was attended by 1,088 people in the church with another 822 watching online.

Breaking Educational Barriers

Breaking Educational Barriers (BEB) is the headliner to a set of educational initiatives that have been running for several years now. It organises trips to Oxbridge colleges for young people (pupils and Years 7 and 8 students) with the express purpose of giving them a taste and feel of what is academically possible to achieve.

BEB’s work often culminates in a conference where speakers from Oxford University, other eminent persons and Oxbridge alumni (who are members of KICC) speak on various subjects including the admissions processes, funding, and educational experiences as well as why students should aspire to get into these universities. Visits are also arranged to Oxford University.

Youth Monthly Meetings at Hoe Street (organised by KICC Royals)

These meetings focused on reaching and engaging the youth in our communities, particularly those in London, to present them with a more purposeful approach to life. The meetings are a mix of food, fun, debates and bible study.

Donations to Emergency Relief and International Ministries

KICC as a ministry has responded to local and international emergencies over the years.

These donations have been either financial (to a specific appeal fund) or in kind, particularly overseas (with food commodities, clothing, and medical services through teams from KICC’s medical professional community).

Additional to these listed above, we produced and promoted religious books, MP3s/MP4s and CDs for distribution through our services.

Through Kings College of Excellence (KCE) we promoted the study of Christian teachings, practices and scriptures. We used the medium of performing arts to promote Christian narratives and doctrines. Our Xpressions Drama Group performed regularly at our services and conferences. We also held dedicated musical performances by amateur and professional Christian musicians alike.

We strengthen the community

We add to the local economy

KICC brings traditional values, strong communities, employment opportunities, local investment and safer neighbourhoods.

Our Outreach work

Winning Ways is a major KICC outreach programme that encompasses both print and electronic media, including radio, television and internet streaming. God has appointed KICC with a holy mandate to reach a dying world with the Living Word.

Through our international television and radio ministry Winning Ways, KICC has become a church without walls, taking the gospel to Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, the USA, Asia and the Middle East. The use of external broadcast companies includes both secular as well as Christian radio and TV stations.

The television ministry touches millions of people’s lives with its practical, down-to-earth, humorous, yet biblically based approach to sharing the Word. Over 340 million people across the globe can watch the programme. This means we are touching Europe for Jesus, bringing a message of hope, healing, salvation and deliverance. KICC's commitment is to use timely technology for the timeless truth. Today’s changing times have opened up Europe to strange religions and philosophies, preparing people for a God- less eternity, so there is no better time to take our message to this ‘mess-age’ than now.

During the year, grants were given to charities of similar objectives in furtherance of their goal of advancing the Christian religion.

Fundraising activities

Kingsway International Christian Centre have relied on benefactors since the creation of the charity. Most funds are raised from those with whom we have close relationships, typically through their attendance as worshippers at one of our churches. Wider circles of relationships are maintained through our websites, television broadcasts and social media pages, all of which may include invitations to donate. Contact relationship data and donations data are managed centrally through a highly secure database with access restricted to a small number of employees.

We fundraise in accordance with the requirements of the Fundraising Regulator, and with our moral obligations as a charity. We fundraise responsibly at all times and with a sensitivity to the pastoral relationship that most donors have with the Church. We avoid approaches to vulnerable people and do not hold information on children. Access to the services we provide as a charity is not dependent on donations. We do not at this time employ third-party fundraisers, though some people may voluntarily and of their own initiative fundraise on our behalf. Free subscriptions to communications can be cancelled at any time. Complaints are responded to as soon as possible. No such complaints were received in the year.

Strategic Report

Achievements and Performance

Our Targets for 2023 - 2024 were:

We are pleased to report that the above has been achieved during the year.

Notable activities during the year

KICC TV

KICC launched KICC TV in October 2007. This operation is part of our evangelistic outreach and is an ideal vehicle to reach a diverse audience with our message of hope.

KICC TV reaches no less than 140 million TV homes across UK, Ireland, Europe, Africa, and parts of the Middle East. KICC TV is now available on three leading satellite platforms – Eurobird (Sky platform), Hot Bird and Intelsat 10. In the UK & Ireland, KICC TV is available through Sky television platform, offering a vast range of services to over 9.2 million subscribers in the UK alone.

The Hot Bird fleet of three satellites occupies Europe’s premium orbital slot of 13 degrees East; and is the region’s number 1 platform for free to air television channels. Covering both West and Eastern Europe, it is also popular in homes across the Middle East and North Africa. The Intelsat-10 satellite covers over 10 million TV homes in SubSahara Africa.

These three platforms combined ensure that KICC TV is in the best possible position to reach across the UK, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. KICC TV is innovative, distinctive, uplifting, and motivational. KICC TV provides a fantastic range of programmes suitable for the entire family.

Financial Review

The charitable group recorded an operating deficit for the year of £1,227,368 (2022: £2,361,863).

KICC management have implemented robust budgetary controls and continue to monitor costs in an effort to deliver a balanced budget in the future. In terms of performance, management has outlined some targets on page 9 of this report.

Incoming Resources – the total income for the twelve months under review was £6,476,511 (2023: £6,729,127). This represents a 3.8% decrease on last year’s overall income. Income from tithes, offerings and donations represent 92% (2023: 95%) of the total income. There was a 6.3% decrease in the income from tithes, offerings and donations compared to the previous year. There was also a 15% reduction in the TV income due to some customers ending their contracts and some reducing the number of TV spots taken up. TV Income in the period was £158k reducing from prior year of £186k by £28K.

Expenditure – the total expenditure in the year is £7,703,879 (2023: £9,090,990). This represents a decrease of 15.3% on the previous year’s expenditure. The main reduction was due to the grant expenditure decreasing from £1.9m in the previous year to £0.4m this year. 93.4% (2023: 95.5%) of our operational expenditure was spent on charitable activities.

KICC Conferences Ltd a wholly owned subsidiary of KICC had a loss of £732 (2023: £4,969) in the period under review. Turnover was £28,665 (2023: £9,523) while cost of sales and administrative expenses were £29,397 (2023: £14,492). We anticipate that with the return to full physical conferences and exhibitions, the company will become profitable in its trading operations. During the year KICC Conferences Limited carried out the provision and the sales of conferences products.

Key Performance Indicators – The trustees set targets for the year as listed on page 9 of this report and those targets have been achieved for the year. Given the nature of the work we do, majority of our key performance indicators are qualitative rather than financial.

The trustees consider that the charity’s position at the year-end is satisfactory, our cash at bank and in hand including short term deposits of £712,704 (2023: £1,360,066) remains at a level to allow us to pay our expenses as they fall due and the work of the charity continues to expand into our local communities. The reduction in the year is due mainly to the grants of £0.4m given to charities of similar charitable objectives and the higher cost associated with in person services in the current year.

Financial Policies

Reserves Policy

The reserves policy covers only those free income funds that are backed by non-designated assets and excludes restricted funds. The trustees believe that a minimum free reserve of £750,000 which covers 1½ months expenditure will enable the organisation to meet its obligations and continue to provide its services. The group’s total funds as of 31 March 2024 were £12,521,779 (2023: £13,749,147).

Grant making Policy

The charity gives grants to other charities with same or similar charitable objectives on presentation of grant proposal to the board of trustees. The grant is recognised when the trustees have approved the payment of the grant. The grant is monitored to confirm the expenditure is related to the purpose for which the grant was given. During the year grants in line with the policy were given to four charitable institutions. The details of the grant are in note 6c to the accounts.

Free Reserves

KICC aims to retain sufficient free reserves equivalent to a minimum of £750,000. These reserves are held in case of any sudden decline in income and to ensure that we can meet our commitments to providing our services and activities.

Specifically, these commitments include our contractual obligations in relation to our outreach work, KICC TV, and staff commitments. The trustees continue to monitor the free reserves in light of the reserves policy.

10

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

The free reserves are held to meet the needs, other than those covered by the designated funds, described below. On 31 March 2024, the unrestricted free reserves were £1,793,852 (2023: £1,000,403), this is above the minimum set, which is available for refurbishments and the continuing expansion of our work.

Restricted Reserves

Total restricted reserves at 31 March 2024 were £88,207 (2023: £202,840) as detailed in note 18.

Designated Reserves

The Board of Trustees have decided to continue to hold a designated fixed assets fund to highlight the reserves invested in the tangible assets used by the charity in carrying out its operations during the year less any fixed assets held in restricted funds. These were £10,639,720 (2023: £12,545,904).

Investment Powers and Policy

KICC has short term investments (fixed deposit accounts), and cash that are set out in the consolidated and Charity balance sheets. The objective of the investment policy is to maximise interest while limiting risk. The investment policy is to invest in short term investments and deposits at banks where the capital is protected. The Charity currently has a policy of keeping any surplus liquid funds in short-term deposits that can be readily accessed. The Charity holds as social investments in properties, properties that are on lease to other organisations carrying out similar objectives to that of the Charity. During the year under review the properties were used to carry out activities of church services and wider community related activities in line with the Trustees’ objectives.

Plans for Future Periods

It is KICC’s wish to use its Buckmore Park premises and facilities for the benefit of its congregation such as a broadcasting studio, cafeteria, teaching accommodation, book shop, offices and a gym etc. It is anticipated that the Charity’s Community Outreach Programmes will be available to a greater number in this location.

We plan for our TV and radio programmes to reach more homes in the future; this in turn will lead to opening more branches and chapels and increasing members at existing locations.

In addition to the goal of opening 1,000 Caring Heart Centres, it is the Church’s wish to send members on short and long-term ministry projects to every continent and to pioneer city churches around this country which will also impact the community taking into account local needs.

We plan to support our members and congregants more through providing welfare support, life skills training and counselling. We plan to continue our overseas outreach work by donating to missions overseas and sending a larger team of volunteers to support the medical work, food and clothing distribution.

It is our aim to establish branches in major cities in England to expand the reach of the Charity in other geographical areas.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Management are responsible for the identification and evaluation of significant risks applicable to their areas of business together with the design and operation of suitable controls. These risks are assessed on a continuing basis and may be associated with a variety of internal or external sources including control breakdowns, disruption in information systems, natural catastrophe and regulatory requirements.

The principal risks currently faced by the charity are:

11

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

The charity has and operates a robust safeguarding policy in working with the children and youth. To mitigate against the risk of higher cost of living and inflation, there is consideration of financial risks arising from the day-to-day management of operations and the required financial resources to meet future plans and expansion.

The Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for the system of internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. The Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal control. In particular, it has reviewed and updated the process for identifying and evaluating the major risks affecting the business and the policies and procedures by which these risks are managed. However, it is recognised that no system can give absolute assurance against risk.

Financial and Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The board recognises that due to the general state of the economy there is a risk of lower turnover from TV customers and a heightened risk of recoverability of debts from customers. To this effect the trustees regularly review trade debtors for evidence of impairment and make provisions as appropriate.

Plan for the future

The primary and most dependable revenue stream has been through collections made at ‘live’ weekly services and special events where members would traditionally make their financial gift of tithes and offerings however, due to the online giving platforms now available, members give more online through PayPal, bank and website than the traditional options of cash and cheques. We continue to use online platforms to broadcast our Sunday and midweek Services. Our Sunday and midweek services are being streamed live on social media - YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. Our CHF groups (home fellowships), who meet weekly, now do so meeting on ZOOM.

Our Noah’s Ark Food Bank continues to deliver an average of 342 food bags per month across London, Kent and Essex. Considering that each parcel contains an average of 15 meals, this equates to some 1,184 meals per week.

Through these and other initiatives, we keep in regular contact with our membership and continue to minister to the spiritual health and general wellness of our members and fulfil our wider commission to the community.

Going Concern

Robust and regular financial reporting has always been in place, however, the Trustees ensured that the frequency of some reporting was increased to enable a closer watch to be kept on some key numbers, particularly in respect of Tithes and Offerings which has held up in comparison to the year being reported. The forecast has taken the present new normal conditions of operation into account. Additionally, the Trustees have reviewed and updated the Risk register and requested a review of our operations and business plan going forward.

Our annual IGOC conference this year was both an ‘actual and virtual’ event. We have continued to maintain our on-line presence. Undoubtedly there may be challenges ahead because of the uncertainties due to the general economic situation in this country but the trustees do not expect material concerns to arise over the charity’s financial position or going concern. The trustees have concluded, based on the cash balances and 12 months forecast from the date of approval of these financial statements, that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the trustees and members of Kingsway International Christian Centre

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Kingsway International Christian Centre (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charity Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We have been appointed auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s or parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

16

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report or the strategic report, included within the trustees’ annual report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out on page 13 the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.

In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.

However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the group audit engagement team:

As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the parent charitable company’s governing document and tax legislation. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the Trustees’ Report, remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents.

18

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

The most significant laws and regulations that have an indirect impact on the financial statements are those in relation to General Data Protection Regulations and Health and Safety. We performed audit procedures to inquire of management whether the group is in compliance with these law and regulations and inspected correspondence with regulatory authorities.

The group audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls and the completeness of cash tithes and offerings included within donation income as the area where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business and challenging judgments and estimates and analytical procedures and tests of detail in respect of completeness of income.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation of transactions outside the normal course of business.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made exclusively to the members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the members and the charitable company’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, its members as a body, and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes forming part of the financial statements

1. Accounting Policies

General information

Kingsway International Christian Centre is a private company limited by guarantee and a registered charity domiciled and incorporated in England. The address of the company’s registered office and principal place of business is shown on page 15.

The charity’s principal activities are the advancement of the Christian religion.

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

i) 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) (second edition effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).

The accounts are prepared in sterling and rounded to nearest £1.

Kingsway International Christian Centre 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.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Going Concern

The Board has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future as the Charity continues to maintain sufficient cash resources to fund its working capital needs. The trustees have reviewed their assumptions based on the operational levels of the organisation. The tithes and offerings have continued to hold up in line with the period being reported as the exposure on social media has increased the audience for the services. Forecast for twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements showing sufficient cash, net current assets and net assets have been reviewed. Having taken these into consideration and the uncertainties that may arise, the board continues to adopt the “going concern basis” in preparing these financial statements.

b) Group financial statements

These financial statements consolidate the results of the Charity, and its subsidiary KICC Conferences Limited on a line-by-line basis. KICC Conferences Limited is a company limited by shares, which are beneficially owned by the Charity. Dormant companies are excluded from consolidation on the basis of immateriality.

24

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

c ) Income

Income from tithes and offerings is included in incoming resources when these are receivable. Given the nature of this income, the receivable date is considered to be the actual date of receipt.

Tithes and Offerings include tax that is reclaimable under the Gift Aid scheme. Gift Aid income is only recognised when the associated income has been received or when a claim has been substantially prepared and verified against records held. Provision is made for the amounts that may not be recoverable. The Charity has not received legacies or other forms of voluntary income.

Income from charitable activities to further the Charity’s objects comprise registration fees, TV income, sale of Christian media and other income from Christian conferences. Income from conferences is recognised as the conferences are held. Income from other charitable activities is recognised when the service or goods have been provided.

Income from trading activities is derived from commercial activities and is recognised as services / goods are provided to third parties.

Investment income is accounted for on a receivable basis.

Rental income from property is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rent free periods or other incentives given to the lessee are accounted for as a reduction to the rental income and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Royalties are accounted for on a receivable basis.

All funds collected for restricted uses are identified based on the donor’s wishes as they become receivable.

d) Resources expended

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on the accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.

e) Basis of allocation and apportionment of costs

Support costs, comprising Communication & Marketing, Finance, Administration, and Operations & Trustee Support, Property & Facilities and Governance costs are apportioned to activities on the basis of the direct costs incurred on charitable activities.

25

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE

Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

f) Governance Costs

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the Charity as an entity and compliance with statutory requirements.

g) Pension Cost

The Charity operates a defined contribution scheme. The amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in respect of pension costs and other post-retirement benefits is the contributions due in respect of employees’ service in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheets.

h) Leasing and Hire Purchase Commitments

Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership ("finance leases"), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as obligations to the lessor. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, and the interest is charged to the statement of financial activities in proportion to the remaining balance outstanding.

All other leases are “operating leases” and the annual rentals are charged to Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Rent free periods or other incentives received for entering into a lease are accounted for over the period of the lease so as to spread the benefit received over the lease term or, if shorter, the period ending when prevailing market rentals will become payable.

i) Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. No depreciation is provided on freehold land and depreciation on other assets is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on a reducing balance basis.

Freehold Building – 2% per annum

Motor Vehicles – 25% per annum

Equipment & furniture – 20% per annum

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £2,000 are capitalised and included initially at cost. Any assets that are considered to be impaired in value or use are written down as required.

j)

Investments

Social investment properties (properties owned by the organisation and leased/let out to other organisations carrying out similar objects) are shown at cost.

26

KINGSWAY INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE Year Ended 31[st ] March 2024

k) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and selling price less cost to complete and sell. Cost is calculated on a first in first out basis and includes all costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the Inventories to their present location and condition. Provision is made for obsolete and slow-moving items.

l) Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, on demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk to change in value.

m) Foreign Currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities dominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of transaction. All differences are taken to the statement of financial activities.

n) Funds Structure

General funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with KICC’s charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.

Restricted funds - these are funds received for undertaking an activity specified by the donor.

Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.

o) Financial Instruments

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. At the end of each reporting period an assessment is made whether there is objective evidence of impairment of any financial assets. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss The charity settles certain agency arrangements on a netting basis whereby the party that owes after the netting off is recognised as the debtor.

p) Corporation Tax

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains within sections 466 to 493 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objectives.

q) Grant Making

Grants are given to other charitable organisations sharing similar charitable objectives, specifically advancement of the Christian religion in the furtherance of their own mission. The grant is recognised as a commitment when the trustees have approved the grant. The grant is monitored to confirm the expenditure is related to the purpose for which the grant was given.

r) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions - The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

Social investments are held at cost less impairment in accordance with recommended accounting practice. The assessment of impairment has been based on the Charity’s anticipation of future use, including plans for F1 use (F1 use class of property refers to non-residential institutions, which includes any kind of property that may be used for educational, medical or religious purposes), and considering any indicators of impairment.

Claims for gift aid on Tithes, offerings and other income are based on recorded income and estimates of gift aid recoverable.

The useful economic lives attributed to tangible fixed assets are estimated by the trustees and used to determine the annual depreciation charge.

The trustees regularly review trade debtors for evidence of impairment and make provisions as appropriate.
