THE ROCK OF CALVARY MINISTRIES
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Objectives and activities
The main objects of the charity are the advancement of the Christian faith, the relief of sickness, poverty and the advancement of education in accordance with Christian principles.
Rock of Calvary board of Trustees have the responsibility of co-operating with the leader in charge, Prophet Tayo Apara, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and Christian unity.
The board of Trustees is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Rock of Calvary. The board of Trustees maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how services can involve the many groups that live within the church. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, the Church leader and the board of Trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
- Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus 2. Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. 3. Missionary and outreach work.
Achievements and performance
On the whole not much happened during the financial year ended 31 March 2021 under review due to the impact of the pandemic/lockdown. All our services and programmes were online - YouTube, Facebook, Zoom and Prayer line. But we kept in touch with members via regular phone calls.
Financial review
The total incoming resources increased by approximately 11.80% on the previous year (from £38,422 in 2020 to £42,957 in 2021). The total resources expended decreased approximately by 15.47% on the previous year (from £52,062 in 2020 to £44,003 in 2021. The overall effect resulted in net deficit of £1,046 in 2021 as compared to the previous year net deficit of £13,640 in 2020

RESERVES POLICY
The trustees recognise the need to maintain reserves. Unrestricted funds are needed to cover the dayto-day administration and support costs of the charity and also to have funds available for specified projects in the future should the need arise.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified as the safeguarding the assets of charity and ensuring funds are applied for charitable purposes. Systems and strategies have been put in place to mitigate these risks. Income and expenditure is monitored through the setting of budgets which are compared with actual figures.

THE ROCK OF CALVARY MINISTRIES
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of THE ROCK OF CALVARY MINISTRIES
Year ended 31 March 2021
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of THE ROCK OF CALVARY MINISTRIES ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity 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 charity'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 - matter of concern identified
I have completed my examination.I have identified matters of concern that give me reasonable cause to believe that:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; and 2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
The accounts prepared for the charity show donations and tithes received of £42,957 however, no record of the donations received were kept to match the deposits of cash and cheques into the charity's bank. Majority of expenditure was made by direct bank transfers and payments but no invoices were kept to support expenditure. It was therefore not possible to verify if some of the expenditure were incurred for charitable purposes.

THE ROCK OF CALVARY MINISTRIES
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of THE ROCK OF CALVARY MINISTRIES (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met, or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached."

Notes to the Accounts
Year ended 31 March 2021
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Unit 5 Greenwich Quay, Clarence Road, London, SE8 3EY.
2. Statement of compliance
These accounts have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements does not requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Accounts (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 25% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
