## **Objectives and activities:**
To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs in the schedule hereto attached in Sutton, Surrey and in such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the Church Council may from time to time think fit and other such purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the charity;

We have experienced great progress and increased income while at the same time the church congregation has also increased. This has allowed us to be a supporting influence to overseas works by both financial gifts and spiritual help.
We have continued to progress and grow as a Church. The Church has always functioned to the objectives, by conducting various outreaches such as concerts, revivals and impact teams.
## **Plans for future periods:**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP UK SUTTON CHURCH**
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet with associate notes.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my examination work.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, and they consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 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 Commissioners (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 report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group/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 you as 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 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 130 of the Act; and
- to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
- have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **1.1 Basis of Accounting**
The accounts have been prepared under the "Receipts and Payments" basis as prescribed by the Charity Commissioners, and they meet the appropriate legal requirements.
## **1.2**
## **Restricted Funds**
There are no restricted funds held by the church at the end of the financial year (2022: Nil).
## **1.3 Payments to Trustees**
Other than for reimbursements of expenses incurred there were no payments to trustees, or any persons connected with them during this financial year.
No other material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee, or any person connected with them.
## **1.4 Risk Assessment**
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
## **1.5**
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
## **1.6**
## **Public Benefit**
The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or 'aims' that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the trustees report. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
