Missions Offering increased by 19.60/ Tithes and offering increased by 13% McKcown Missions Week offering increased by 17.230/0 STRATEGIC REPORT Flnanelal review The group result5 for thc year under revicw reports a surplus of £2,706.143 (2023 £1,033,994). This include5 a sulUS of £2,493,296 (2023 - £1,038,378) from the operations of thc parent charity. Incoming resources for the year was £11,204,692 (2023 £9,510,668). The is an increase of £1,694,024 or 180/ on the previous ycar. The total expcnditure on charitable activities for the year was £1 0,026,989 (2023 £8,482,154), reflecting an increase of £1,544,835 or 18Q/o compared to the prior year. This uplift is primarily attributable to the expansion of our missionary operations, which included the establishment of additional districts and local assemblies across the United Kingdom, Serbia, and Gucrnsey. lThese developments necessitated increased staffing and associaled costs. Additionally, interest costs rose due to a bridging loan used for acquiring the property at 12-38 Hatcham Road, fully r¢paid in July 2024, ceasing furthcr interest accruing thereafter. Prlneipal funding sources The Church raised the funds which it needs to cary on its activities from within its own mcmbcrship and congregation. No wider public appeal was made for funds during the year. The Trustees are satisfied thal the charity's assets attributable to each of its individual funds are available and adequate to fulfjl it5 obligations in relation lo those funds. Reserves policy As part of our ongoing commitment to financial stewardship and mission-aligned resourco management, we would like to providc context regarding our reserves policy and broader financial strategy. The church maintains only the minimum necessary cash reserves to meet immediate obligations, with a modest buffer to manage potential shortfalls in income or unforeseen expenditures. This approach ensures that resources are actively deployed in 5UPPOrt of our core mission of propagiating the gospel, rather than remaining idle. To safeguard the church's ability to operate effectively under future financial pressures, the Trustees have fomialised a Reserves Policy. Following a comprehensive assessment of potential risks, including income volatility and rising costs, the I'rustees have deterniined that an appropriatc reserve level falls within ihc rangc of 5 to 8 p¢rc¢nt of tolal income. 10
THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST - UK REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024 STRATEGIC REPORT Reserves policy- cont'd Currenily, our reserve5 exceed this threshold. and a fornial review of the policy is scheduled in the n¢ar future to ensure continued alignment with our strategic objectives. This reinforces our financial position and supports long- terni stratcgic resilienc¢. The Group's total funds at 31 December 2024 were £22,499.550 (2023 - £19,793,407). Principal risks and uneertainties Risk Managemenl The trustees rccognise that the scope of our operations generate considerable responsibility and take seriously the need to cnsure that the reputation of the church is maintained. The Church relies heavily on thc Cfforts of volunteers at the local level. This exposes the church to failure by volunteers to comply with laid eslablished policies and internal controls. To ameliorate its risk, a National Internal Audil Committee checks the books and operating procedures of the Districts at regular intervals. Safeguarding Safeguarding employees, volunteers and the vulnerable members of the church is an issue that we take seriously. Thc church has established a National Safeguarding committee to monitor and report issucs that could potentially impair our ability to protecl our worshipers, employees and childrcn.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF PEIYTECOST- UK Our responsibilities for the audit of the finaneial 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 a Report of the independent auditors thal 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 delect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstat¢ments can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could rcasonably be expected to influ¢nc¢ th¢ ¢conomic dccisions of users taken on the basi5 of these financial statements. Irr¢gulariti¢s. including fraud, are instances of non-complianc¢ with laws and r¢gulations. We design procedure5 in lin¢ with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which OUT Procedures are Capable of detecting irrcgulariti¢s, including fraud is deiailed below: As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgement and mainlain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether duc lo fraud or error, design and perforni audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficicnl and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material rnisstaternent resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from eOr, as fraud may involve collusion, forgcry, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the ovettide of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that arc appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effcctiveness of the charitable company's internal control, Evaluatc the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and rclaled dis¢105ure5 made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the tTUStees' use of the going concern basis of a¢countinbF and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or Conditions Ihat may cast significant doubt on the charitable company'5 ability to continuc as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are Tequired to draw altcntion in our Report of the independent auditor5 to the related disclosurcs in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate. to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidcnce obiained up to the date of our Report of the independent auditors. However, future events or condition5 may cause the charildble company's to ce&se to continue as a going concern. F,valuate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosurcs, and whethcr the finiincial stat¢ments represenl the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achicves fair presentation. We communicate wilh those ch<wged with govcmance regarding, among other matlers, the planned scope and timing ofihe audit and significant audit findings, Including any si8nifi¢&nt d¢ficicncies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 15
