The report of the trustees
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing 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 dayto-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.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law 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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been
followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
-
charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement as to disclosure to our auditors
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and
-
The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant

CALVARY CHARISMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH
Independent auditors’ report
To the members of Calvary Charismatic Baptist Church
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Calvary Charismatic Baptist Church (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charityʼs affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of 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 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 Auditorʼs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRCʼs 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 charity'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditorʼs report thereon. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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:
• the information given in the trustees' report (incorporating the directors' report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and • the trustees' report (incorporating the directors' report) have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual 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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received
-
from branches not visited by us;
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.

CALVARY CHARISMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH
Independent auditors’ report
To the members of Calvary Charismatic Baptist Church
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trusteesʼ responsibilities statement, the trustees 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 they 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 Charityʼs 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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our 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 auditorʼs 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.
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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Councilʼs website at: [www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities]. This description forms part of our auditorʼs report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charityʼs 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 Charityʼs members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs 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 Charity and the Charityʼs members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

CALVARY CHARISMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
1 Accounting policies
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 - effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
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 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 accrual’s 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 CHARISMATIC BAPTIST CHURCH Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
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 accumulated 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
