The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should any of those risks materialise.
## **Charitable Objects**
The objects of the Charity are:

- Ø To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress in the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may consider appropriate

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees**
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of Harmony Christian Ministry for the propose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standard (United Kingdom Generally Acceptable Accounting Practice)
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Ø select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Ø observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP FRS 102;
- Ø make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Ø prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue on that basis.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Harmony Christian Ministries for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Fellow of the Association (FCCA).
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration **Tax reclaims on** from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to **donations and** be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial **gifts** donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
**Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related **performance** goods or services or met the performance related conditions. **related grants**
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset **Donated goods** could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.

## **2.2. Expenditure and Liabilities**
**Liability** Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal **recognition** or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other **Governance and** support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability **support costs** of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 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. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a **Grants with** specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only **performance** recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the **conditions** specified service or output. **Grants payable** Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor **without** charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding **performance** obligation must be recognised. **conditions Redundancy cost** The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. **Deferred income** No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any **Creditors** trade discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then **Provisions for** subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle **liabilities** the obligation at the reporting date
11
HARMONY CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as **Basic financial** per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per **instruments** paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
## **2.3. Expenditure and Liabilities**
**Tangible fixed** These are valued at cost and capitalised if they can be used for more than one **assets for use** year, and cost at least £1,000 **by charity**
The charge for depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets over their useful lives on the following bases:
Office & Musical Equipment 25% on the reducing balance Furniture & fittings 25% on the reducing balance Motor Vehicles 25% on the reducing balance Freehold Office 1% on the Straight Line Method Assets are depreciated from the time at which they are brought into use.
**Intangible** The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not **fixed assets** have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5

The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments. Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower **Stocks and** or cost or net realisable value. **work in progress** Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
12
HARMONY CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
