|**Financial Review**||
|---|---|
|Incoming<br>resources|£120,184|
|Expenditure|£115,452|
|Surplus/(Deficit)|£4,732|



## **Grants** 

CCM is committed to the aid of overseas Christian workers and supports _Friends of Helper_ in Tanzania. 

In Maidstone CCM regularly gives to local charities. 

CCM also made gifts to _CAP_ clients and to various members of its congregation. 

## **Reserves** 

It is an agreed principle that at least three months cash reserves in hand should be kept in CCM’s current account. This is kept under periodic review. 3 months running costs are approximately £25,000. At the end of the financial year, there was approximately £10,000 in unrestricted cash reserves, with the Trustees able to reassign designated funds should the need occur. 

When the COVID-19 pandemic started to impact the UK in March 2020, the Trustees immediately repurposed money from the designated building fund into a Financial Assistance Fund, and members of the church also contributed towards this fund. A number of grants have been paid to various individuals and families to support them financially since the fund started. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Elders/Trustees of CCM meet on a regular basis and receive regular reports and financial statements detailing the opportunities and risks that CCM faces. This enables them to plan or curtail activities accordingly making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

CCM has suitable accounting standards and policies which are applied consistently. Financial statements are prepared on an ongoing basis. At the end of each accounting year records are produced which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the church, disclosing with reasonable accuracy the financial position of

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of Connect** 

## **Church, Maidstone** Registered Charity No. 1119213 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2025 which are set out on the following pages. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

## It is my responsibility 

- to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the with the accounting records 

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
