STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity governing document is a trust deed that was adopted on 17[th] June 2008 .The Charity is governed by a board on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Objects of the organisation are to advance the Christian Faith [in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs] through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, public celebration of religious festivals and by producing and/or distributing literature and recorded material to enlighten others about the Christian faith. The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
ACHIEVMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Organisation continues to hold successful services through the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith .The church continued to hold several conferences to assist the spiritual development of the people in the community. The church continues to use Facebook to broadcast its services due to the pandemic. In addition with this it helped to distribute food to families in need in the community during this time.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The income of the charity is above £73,400. The costs have been managed over this period. The church used a large amount of its income in paying the rent of the building. It has made some progress in reducing its debt and they are on track of following the plan to clear the debt over the next 1-2years. The organisation received government grants during the year and a bounce back loan as well to help its operations.
FUTURE PLANS
The organisation is looking to start saving in order to purchase its own premises in the future. They also plan to support more families in need and plan to continue to host its regular services and conferences in the coming year. The organisation is a going concern.
RESERVE POLICY
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure .This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditures that may arise from time to time. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The charity have assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed to, in particular those related to operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
Under the Charities Act 2011, the trustees are required to prepare a statement of accounts for each accounting year which gives a true and fair view of the state of the church. They are required to:

Independent Examiner’s Report To the Trustees
INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL COMMUNITY
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 17[th] June 2022 set out on the following pages which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies shown in the corresponding pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees of the church are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act),does not apply. It is my responsibility to :
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
-
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 church 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept( in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act: or
-
(2) to which , in my opinion , attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
