TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 30[TH] APRIL 2024

The trustees are pleased to present their report for the year ended 30[TH] APRIL 2024 for the charity, Christ Evangelistic Ministries with Charity Number 1104109.

The Trustees of the charity are: Miss Mary Darbo Rev Michael Amoah Mavis Asamoah Kwadwo Appau

The principal address of the charity is : 27 Devonshire road Croydon

OBJECTS

The main object of the charity is advancing the Christian faith in the South east London area as a Christian church in accordance with the doctrines set out in the statement of beliefs.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Church is governed by a leadership team on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.

ACHIEVMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The church continues to develop itself in the community. The church also continues to hold regular services that are open to the general public. The church also held successful conferences during the year this included outreach programs for the young people and a retreat at Ashburnham Trust. Due to the pandemic the church started hosting online services and events to continue its outreach in its community

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The income of the church is above £99,000. This is a higher amount on the previous year however the costs have been well managed over this period. There was a surplus on the account this has not been an issue as the church is repaying all loans. The church hopes to continue its work in the coming year without any unnecessary financial constraints. The church used most of its income on covering the rent of the premises and the running costs of holding the worship services. The church has undertaken work on renovating a new premises.

RESERVE POLICY

It is the policy of the Church to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditures that may arise from time to time. The church will maintain this level throughout the year.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The church intends to continue to host its regular yearly conferences in UK. They will continue to host their regular worship services and homework club for the children. The intended re-appointment of our present independent examiner at the upcoming trustee meeting is expected to support the financial operations by making it more effective.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The charity have assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed to, in particular those related to operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.

TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES

Under the Charities Act 2011,the trustees are required to prepare a statement of accounts for each accounting year which gives a true and fair view of the state of the church. They are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

Independent Examiner’s Report To the Trustees

CHRIST EVANGELISTIC MINISTRIES

I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 30[th] April 2024 set out on the following pages which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies shown in the corresponding pages.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees of the church are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act),does not apply. It is my responsibility to :

Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church and a comparison of the 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 matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention;

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
proper accounting records are kept( in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply
with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act: or
(2) to which , in my opinion , attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
