REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

OM International is governed by the terms of its constitution, the Memorandum and Articles of Association . The company is limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 8 December 2005. It is registered as a company in England and Wales, Company Registration Number: 05649412 and with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, Charity Registration Number: 1112655. Members of the Board of Directors are the trustees for charitable purposes.

Organisation

The Board of Directors is responsible for ultimate strategic decisions, having regard to the OM Legal Agreement (see below) and advice from senior management. As charity trustees, the directors receive no remuneration for their services.

The members of the Board (as set out on page 3) have held office during the year to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated. The Board currently meets at least four times per year. Two directors resigned in May 2024 and a further two in March 2025, at which time two new directors were also appointed. The Board currently consists of 14 directors. As well as their responsibilities in relation to this company they also assume a role for OM-Worldwide, providing oversight, support and accountability to OM-Worldwide’s International Director, Mr Lawrence Tong. They do not assume legal responsibility or governance of other OM-Worldwide entities, which remains with the boards, or current leadership, of those entities.

The directors delegate the day-to-day management of the charity to the International Director (Mr Lawrence Tong) and members of the key management personnel as detailed on page 3.

The International Director (ID) oversees the execution of the company’s strategic plans and directs management to develop specific goals in pursuit of these strategic objectives. The Board will review progress quarterly with reports from the ID and his senior management team as to the current health of the organisation, ongoing initiatives and how they are contributing to achieving agreed goals and objectives.

Related Organisations

This company shares the core values of an international confederation or partnership now operating in over 147 countries worldwide known as “Operation Mobilisation” or “OM”. The company is a signatory to a Legal Agreement (“the OM Legal Agreement”) which sets out the ways in which the various constituent parts shall work together. In this report this “international partnership” is called “OM-Worldwide” and the company is called “OM International”. The relationships between the constituent entities are also governed by a Joint Ministry Agreement.

Recruitment and Appointment of the Board of Directors

The directors are also the trustees for the purposes of charity law. As of the date of this report the Board consists of fourteen experienced and committed directors. Only the members (who in our case are the Board of Directors and in addition the OM Area Leaders as a group acting collectively as a single member) have the power to appoint new trustees/directors.

Induction and Training of Directors

In the event of new Directors being recruited they are invited to attend a meeting prior to any decision concerning their appointment, and are provided with briefings and material to give them background and necessary information regarding the organisation.

Risk Management

The directors have identified and evaluated the areas of major risk and the action required to mitigate those risks. Procedures are in place to keep areas of risk under review and identify future risk areas. These procedures are in turn reviewed on a regular basis by the directors.

Risk and Uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the charity include:

OMOM International

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Risk and Uncertainties (continued)

In order to address the financial risks, an annual budget is maintained, and monthly management accounts are prepared to ensure that any significant problems are quickly identified. The charity endeavours to maintain on-going cash reserves which would provide time for solutions to be found in the event of funding shortfalls. The charity’s work benefits OM-Worldwide and it would seek support from the global network if required.

Going Concern Basis of Accounting

In assessing the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in the future, for at least 12 months from the date of this report, the directors have determined that there are no material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the continuing use of the going concern basis of accounting in future periods.

Key Management Personnel Remuneration

Remuneration of the charity’s key management personnel is set in consultation with the relevant individuals. As a mission organisation those joining are committed to the ethos of the charity and do not have an expectation of receiving market rates of pay and remuneration. Remuneration levels are set taking into account the individual’s situation and their level of responsibility within the organisation.

Fundraising

The charity engages in fundraising but does not use the services of any external professional or commercial fundraiser. The main sources of voluntary income are administration fees received from OM fields around the world on the gifts they receive, and financial support raised by personnel working with the charity through their contact with sending churches, friends, and family. Support raising by OM International personnel is monitored by their sending OM fields, and support gifts are received by those fields and then forwarded to OM International. The charity has not received any complaints relating to fundraising activities and is not aware of any complaints received by OM fields fundraising on behalf of the charity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

OM International’s principal objective, as set out in the Memorandum of Association, is to support, through the provision of services including administration and co-ordination, charities and NGOs both in the UK and worldwide whose purposes include:

OM International plays a key role in co-ordinating decision making on common standards throughout OM-Worldwide. It also supplies services and resources vital to the functioning of OM-Worldwide.

OM-Worldwide’s stated objective is “we want to see vibrant communities of Jesus followers among the least reached”, often referred to as VCJFs.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Public Benefit

The directors are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and the two key principles of public benefit, namely that there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits, and that benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public.

The Board believes that by supporting the work of OM-Worldwide it supports the whole mission of OM. The aim of OMWorldwide is to mobilise people to share the Christian faith with every generation in every nation, pioneering and leading initiatives to redeem lives, rebuild communities and restore hope. OM-Worldwide works in over 118 countries, motivating and equipping people to share God’s love with people all over the world. This involves over 5,000 workers from at least 120 different nations. In doing so, the Board believes that it provides a benefit to the public by:

The board relies on feedback from OM international leadership, and from OM fields around the world, to assess the value and effectiveness of the organisation’s work. Reports are available of the work being done by OM fields, and the board is confident that the services provided by this charity enable and facilitate that work. Department heads are in regular contact with OM leaders around the world to ensure that the services provided meet their needs and increase their effectiveness.

ACTIVITIES

During 2024 OM International continued to provide services and resources to increase the effectiveness of OM-Worldwide ministry around the world and promote the vision, mission and strategies of OM-Worldwide.

Global services include operational support, financial services, people management and care services, internal audit and disaster response.

Global resourcing services include:

Organisational development services include:

Grants from this fund have been made to other OM entities and there have also been internal grants to other departments for specific purposes which continue to be held as restricted funds.

Leadership and support to OM-Worldwide is provided from Carlisle, which remains a service hub primarily for some IT services as well as finance services, and by leaders scattered around the world who work with OM International, including a small number based in the UK.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Reserves Policy

Total unrestricted reserves, excluding designated reserves and the concessionary loan, totalled £226,909 at the year-end (see note 16). The directors consider that unrestricted reserves should be maintained at a sum equivalent to approximately three months of unrestricted costs. General unrestricted costs, excluding designated funds, for 2023 totalled £4,755,266. Therefore, at year end unrestricted reserves equated to 0.6 months of unrestricted costs (2023 – 1.1 months). The anticipated sale of the Forest Hill property will replenish unrestricted reserves back to the target level.

Designated reserves held at year end included the Global Impact Fund £245,375 (2023 - £299,842) and the Asset Fund £1,212,024 (2023 - £1,224,810) representing net tangible assets.

Restricted funds, representing the balance of gifts and grants received for specific projects less related expenditure, were £2,945,605 (2023 - £2,176,816).

Grant Making Policy

Grants made during the year totalled £1,015,422 (2023 - £904,237). Grants are made in support of various international ministries and projects of OM-Worldwide, or to other OM fields in need of financial assistance. Grants from the designated GIF funds are approved by the International Director, in line with guidelines provided by the Board. Other grants from general funds have been provided for in the budget for the year which has been approved by the Board. Any other grants require the Boards approval. The grants made contribute to the charity’s objective of supporting OM ministries around the world.

Investment Policy

The Memorandum of Association gives the directors the power to deposit or invest funds in any manner, but to invest only after obtaining such advice from a financial expert as the directors consider necessary and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification. Currently, surplus cash funds are deposited in interest-bearing accounts with NatWest Bank.

Social Investment Policy

In support of various international ministries and projects of OM-Worldwide, or to assist other OM fields in need of financial assistance, the Board may grant concessionary loans. In November 2022 the Board agreed to loan GBA Ships e.V. the sum of US$1,800,000 (£1,437,700), interest free, and repayable in full by 30th October 2025. In early 2025 the Board agreed to amend the repayment terms. US$900,000 is repayable by 31 December 2025, and the balance by 30 October 2026. In addition, interest at the rate of 5% will be payable with effect from 1[st] November 2025. Early repayment can be made by the borrower at any time, or can be required by OM International by giving 12 months’ notice. The loan was provided to enable OM Ships to prepare M.V. Doulos Hope for ministry.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

OM International will continue to provide services and resources to increase the effectiveness of OM-Worldwide ministry around the world in order to “see vibrant communities of Jesus followers among the least reached” (OM’s vision and mission). Innovations and improvements in services will continue, with a view to meeting the future needs of OM-Worldwide, including continual upgrading of management systems and processes, review of how OM-Worldwide is organised and how different parts work together, implementation of fresh initiatives to mobilize people to the cause of OM-Worldwide, broadening of ministry best practices across OM-Worldwide, and the launch of an initiative to research and review the financial and personnel sustainability challenges faced by OM-Worldwide and to pilot solutions.

FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN TRUSTEES FOR OTHERS

The company acts as custodian trustee in respect of the transmission of worldwide income and expenditure, received and paid respectively by one OM-Worldwide entity in respect of another. All the parties have similar objectives. The assets held as at 31 December 2024, totalling £16,535,493 (2023 - £16,743,606) are held in a custodian capacity for the settlement of the corresponding liabilities. These amounts do not therefore form part of the charity’s balance sheet. This facility is known within OM-Worldwide as the International Clearing House (ICH). Provision of the ICH facility further supports the work of OMWorldwide enabling efficient movement of funds between OM-Worldwide organisations around the world. ICH funds are held with ING Bank, Belgium and U.S. Bank, USA. The management of those funds is completely separate from the company’s banking arrangements.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of OM International

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of OM International (the ‘company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 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 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 directors’ 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 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

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 directors 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.

OMOM International

10

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 light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Directors

As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 9, the directors 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 directors 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 directors are responsible for assessing the 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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 the financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

Based on our understanding of the company and its industry, we considered that non-compliance with the following laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements: employment regulation, health and safety regulation, antimoney laundering regulation.

To help us identify instances of non-compliance with these laws and regulations, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, our procedures included, but were not limited to:

OMOM International

11

We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.

In addition, we evaluated the directors’ and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of management override of controls, and determined that the principal risks related to posting manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to income recognition (which we pinpointed to the cut-off assertion, and significant one-off or unusual transactions.

Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

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

Use of the audit report

This report is made solely to the company’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members 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 company and the company’s members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

OM International 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 note. The financial statements have been prepared in Pound Sterling as this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates.

3 ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historic cost convention.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In applying the charity’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The directors’ judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.

The property situated at 39 Honor Oak Road, Forest Hill, London, was originally included within tangible fixed assets at a deemed cost of £1.5 million, reflecting the external professional valuation obtained when the property was transferred from Witness and Testimony Trust in 2019. Following the Board’s decision in 2020 to sell the property it became evident that the marketability of the property was restricted by a long-term lease on part of the property. Following extensive investigations of various options, and aware of the on-going costs associated with keeping the property, the directors negotiated a sale of the property to the leaseholder at a price which is below the initial carry value of £1.5m. In 2021 the decision was made to impair the value of the property to reflect the best estimate of sales proceeds less costs to sell, resulting in an impairment loss of £800,000. This value has been maintained at 31 December 2024. The sale of the property was completed on 5 September 2025 at a price of £860,000.

In November 2022 the Board agreed to loan GBA Ships e.V. the sum of US$1,800,000 (£1,437,700), interest free, and repayable in full by 30[th] October 2025. In early 2025 the Board agreed to amend the repayment terms. US$900,000 is repayable by 31 December 2025, and the balance by 30 October 2026. In addition, interest at the rate of 5% will be payable with effect from 1[st] November 2025. Early repayment can be required by OM International by giving 12 months’ notice. The loan was provided to enable OM Ships to prepare M.V. Doulos Hope for ministry. The directors have made the decision to disclose this loan as a concessionary loan as it is made to further the objects of OM International, and supports the work of OM worldwide. The loan is secured by a mortgage over M.V. Doulos Hope, registered in November 2023.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical accounting judgements

The critical accounting judgements that the directors have made in the process of applying the charity’s accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the statutory financial statements are discussed below.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (CONTINUED)

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Estimating value in use

Where an indication of impairment exists the directors will carry out an impairment review to determine the recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the asset or the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.

Recoverability of receivables

The charity believes all receivables to be recoverable and has not made any provision for unrecoverable amounts. When assessing recoverability the directors consider factors such as the ageing of the receivables, past experience of recoverability, and the credit profile of individual or groups of customers.

Determining residual values and useful economic lives of property, plant and equipment

The charity depreciates tangible assets over their estimated useful lives. The estimation of the useful lives of assets is based on historic performance as well as expectations about future use and therefore requires estimates and assumptions to be applied by management. The actual lives of these assets can vary depending on a variety of factors, including technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes. Judgement is applied by management when determining the residual values for fixtures, fittings and equipment. When determining the residual value, management aim to assess the amount that the company would currently obtain for the disposal of the asset, if it were already of the condition expected at the end of its useful economic life. Where possible this is done with reference to external market prices.

5

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated Funds are unrestricted funds that the directors have set aside for specific purposes.

Restricted Funds are subject to restrictions on their use, either imposed by the donor or included in the terms of an appeal.

6 INCOME

Gifts received are accounted for as soon as it is prudent and practicable to do so, generally the earlier of the date of notification or receipt. Gifts in kind are included at an estimated value.

Income from charitable activities includes turnover in relation to the provision of audio visual services, rent income and registration fees for training events.

Net currency exchange gains are included in income from charitable activities. Net currency exchange losses are included in expenditure on charitable activities.

OMOM International

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

7 EXPENDITURE

COSTS OF GENERATING FUNDS

This amount represents administration costs charged by OM-Worldwide offices on the gifts they receive for OM International.

DIRECT CHARITABLE EXPENDITURE

Includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity and comprises the following:

Support to other missions

This amount represents expenditure incurred by the charity in supporting the ministry of OM-Worldwide. This includes personnel costs, provision of office facilities, travel costs, and depreciation on buildings, vehicles and equipment.

Net currency exchange losses incurred during the year are also included in this figure.

Costs of generating income from Charitable Activities

This amount represents expenditure incurred by the audio visual department, and the provision of training courses by the International Human Resources department. These activities generate income by way of payment for services received, sale of goods, and registration fees for courses.

Governance

This comprises expenditure incurred in the management of the charity’s assets, organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

8 FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

In general, tangible fixed assets with a cost over £500 and all vehicles are capitalised in the financial statements, and are stated at cost less depreciation.

During 2024, depreciation has been provided in order to write-off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, using the following rates:

Long leasehold buildings 2% per annum Outfitting of building, and initial furniture 10% per annum IT equipment (computers and phone system) 20-33% per annum Other fixtures, fittings and equipment 20% per annum Vehicles 20-50% per annum

Impairment losses on the value of London property are detailed in note 4 above.

9 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. Where deposits are for periods exceeding three months the bank allows a break in exceptional circumstances and therefore such deposits have been classified as cash equivalent.

10 FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Income and expenditure items denominated in foreign currency are translated into sterling and recorded at the rate ruling for the month of the transaction. Balance Sheet items denominated in foreign currency are translated into sterling and recorded at the rate ruling at the end of December. These rates (provided by the International Finance Office) are used in OM-Worldwide.

OMOM International

18

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

11 OPERATING LEASES

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

12 CONCESSIONARY LOANS

Concessionary loans are valued at par value, and reviewed annually for indicators of impairment. When the loan is in USD the balance is retranslated in GBP at the year-end exchange rate.

13 PENSIONS

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year. All pension costs relate to unrestricted funds.

14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

15 GOING CONCERN

The directors have reviewed the charity’s financial position, are confident that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for a minimum of twelve months after the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore can continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. They acknowledge that the level of reserves is below target however the impending sale of the Forest Hill property will much improve the situation. The charity’s main sources of income come from a very wide base and are therefore relatively secure, and not exposed to large fluctuations. There are no material uncertainties in respect of going concern.
