## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Govering Document**
The Charity is controlled by its governing document, Memorandum and Articles of Association and constitutes a Company Limited by Guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. There are no restrictions in the governing documents on the operation of the charity or on its investment powers other than those imposed by general charity Law.
## **Leadership Team**
The Leadership Team is responsible for the administration and management of the local Churches, general purposes, finances and personnel. Capital projects and expenditure require the approval of the leadership team. Appointments of officers are governed by the constitution of the church. All decisions at any meeting are determined by simple majority votes cast by members present, with each member having one vote. In the event of an equality of votes, the chair may exercise a second vote as casting vote. The leadership team meet regularly to discuss and plan objectives and implementation thereof. All matters are subject to prayer and God's direction.
## **Trustees**
Trustees are normally elected by the church members at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) or a normal member meeting and they may offer themselves for re-election at each (AGM). The Church is run on a day to day basis by a leadership team that normally includes majority of Trustees. The team comprises professionals from all disciplines including business, finance and legal.
## **Trustee Induction and Training**
Any new trustees undergo an orientation day to brief them on their legal obligations under Charity and Company Law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the processes on decision making within the organisation. The Charity encourages trustees to attend, at their discretion; appropriate external training events were these will be of use for the undertaking of the role.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The board of trustees actively review the major risks facing the charity on a regular basis and ensure measures are put in place to safeguard the charity's fund and assets. The trustees also ensure that legal advice is sought when necessary on crucial issues concerning the ministry.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The vision of the church is "Saving souls and making them better through Christ." To help achieve this, the following objectives have been set:
- To expand and develop the ministry of CCBC through Sunday worship services, children's ministries, youth and young adult ministries, prayer and ministry training, bible studies and small groups meetings.

## **CALVARY CHARISTIMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **Independent auditor's report to the members of CALVARY CHARISTIMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **Qualified Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of CALVARY CHARISTIMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Total Recognised Gains and Losses, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements.. 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 the Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the charitable company`s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under Section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company`s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in our auditors` 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`s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
- ● have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for Qualified opinion**
For the expenditure inccurred as stated on the SOFA for the year ended 31 December 2022 ,other than Finance , Premises, Governance and Human costs, we could not obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence (suppliers and service providers documents not available for vouching) to fully verify these expenditure, though, we witnessed Internal Requisitions Forms and Payments Authorisations covering these expenditutre.
It was not practical to quantify the financial effects on the unrestricted revenue reserves.
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 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.

**CALVARY CHARISTIMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## _**Basis of preparation**_
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2008 (SORP 2008).
## _**Accounting convention**_
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluation.
## _**Incoming resources**_
Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis deferred as described below where appropriate.
## _**Investment income**_
Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis.
## _**Deferred income**_
In accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales grants received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are included as creditors in the accounts.
## _**Recognition of Liabilities**_
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales .
## _**Charitable expenditure**_
Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure directly related to the objects of the charity and comprises the following :-
## _Activities in furtherance of the charity's objectives_
The costs of activities in furtherance of the charity's objectives represents the cost of goods and services and ancillary trading costs that have been incurred in charitable activities
## _Management and administration of the charity_
Management and administration costs represent expenditure incurred in the management of the charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with charitable and statutory requirements.
13
**CALVARY CHARISTIMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023**
## _**Allocation of costs within types of resources expended**_
The charity's operating costs include staff costs, rent and other related costs.Such costs are allocated between types of resources expended on the basis of estimates made by the trustees.
Administration expenditure includes all expenditure not directly related to direct charitable activity. In respect of certain items of expenditure it is a matter of judgement as to whether such items are direct charitable expenditure or are administrative, and the trustees have applied what they consider to be reasonable judgements in apportioning such costs.
The Charity Law requires all properties belonging to Charity to be depreciated. However, this requirement conflicts with the generally accepted accounting principle set out in SSAP 19 and the overriding requirement to show a true and fair view. The board of trustees considers that because the property is not held for consumption , but for its investment potential, to depreciate it would not give a true and fair view , and that although the charity is exempt from the full application of SSAP19 , it is nevertheless appropriate for the charity to follow the principles of SSAP19 in order to give a true and fair view. The charity has taken advantage of its exemption from the full application of SSAP19 and has not had a formal professional valuation of the property, but has relied on the best estimates of the board of the market value, in order to conserve funds for the charitable purposes of the charity.
If this policy had not been adopted , the surplus for the financial year would have been reduced by depreciation . However, the amount of depreciation cannot reasonably be quantified because depreciation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified or quantified.
## _**Tangible fixed assets**_
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulative depreciation.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
|Motor vehicles|-|15% per annum net book value|
|---|---|---|
|Plant and machinery - office, music equipment|-|20% per annum net book value|
|Nursery equipment & Improvements|-|10 % per annum net book value|
## _**Capital Grants**_
The board of trustees consider that , in order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective March 2008), grants of a capital nature given for specific purposes and fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity should be credited to the fixed asset funds after the sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose. The related asset is shown in the balance sheet at the cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation.
The related assets are subject to restrictions by the grant making organisation on their use and disposal, and these restrictions are noted in the fixed asset section of these accounts. The fixed asset fund so created is treated as a restricted fund.
As a registered charity, the organisation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the organisation , and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
