INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
TO THE DIRECTORS OF - Kingdom Light Centre Limited
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023 which is set out on pages 9 to 14.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DIRECTORS AND THE EXAMINER
The charity's directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's directors consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 476 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed.

BASIS OF 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 you as Directors 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 statements below.
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 the requirement of Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of Section 394 and 395 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.
