TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) " (effective 1 January 2019 ).
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects are to advance the Christian Faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs in the memorandum, to relieve those who are in need, hardship or are aged or sick and to promote and fulfil other purposes beneficial to the community. The main area of the charity's operations is the county of Essex.
During the year under review this has been carried out by receiving and using donations towards the running of the centre and operations of the church in Lexden in Colchester. The centre is being used as a church base for the benefit of the wider community. During the previous year we acquired the long leasehold of the site at 86 London Road. This includes the space currently occupied under lease to Aldi and IKAS. The lease payments will reduce the mortgage and the purchase will enable us in coming years to expand our community activities into some or all of that space.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Like the rest of the UK we were impacted by Covid in March 2020 and throughout the year s since . Church , cafe and community centre activities continue to recover, and we believe the church is stronger and larger than ever. We were able to take advantage of the furlough scheme during the first months of the year.
The trustees are satisfied with the financial situation and achievements of the charity.
Financial review
The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation and consider that whilst the long term loans are being repaid the charity should have net current assets, excluding loans, of between 3 to 6 months expenditure.
The trustees review all the salaries each year when the budgets are set with no employee's annual remuneration being £60,000 or more.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
The trustees continue to develop the ministry at 86 London Road in Lexden and on line.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee incorporated on 22 October 2008 and registered as a charity. The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Gbolahan Alaka Margaret Andrew Andrew Courtier Neil Loxley (Resigned 12 May 2022) Mee Foong Purser Gemma Ferris (Appointed 1 October 2021)
The organisation of the work of Kingsland Church is in the hands of the Trustees. The governing documents provide for new trustees to be appointed by the current trustees.
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
The trustees work with the core leadership team and the small group of ministry leaders and members of the church.
Public Benefit
The leadership teams of the congregations are committed to enabling as many people to worship with our church and to become part of our church community. As trustees we are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for advancement of religion.
We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our community through mutual encouragement, teaching worship and prayer. We seek to provide pastoral care and opportunities to be involved in mission and outreach work and to facilitate this we maintain the fabric of the Church.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. During the year we have sought to provide a breadth of opportunities for worship appropriate for the mix of ages and backgrounds of the people within the orbit of the church.
Our weekly activities have continued on line and in person where possible and include those very suitable for anyone in the area who choose to attend. The various youth groups, choir, men's breakfasts, women's meetings, alpha courses etc. are available to all as appropriate. We provide grants for various people and projects in the area and across the world in line with our charity objectives for the promotion of the Christian faith and the relief of poverty. As well as that reflected in financial terms in the accounts we have various collections of food, shoeboxes and, of course, encourage volunteering for local and international charities.
Auditor
In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that Streets Whittle & Partners LLP be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.
The trustees' r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.

KINGSLAND CHURCH COLCHESTER
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees, who are also the directors of Kingsland Church Colchester for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGSLAND CHURCH COLCHESTER
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kingsland Church Colchester (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) .
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

KINGSLAND CHURCH COLCHESTER
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGSLAND CHURCH COLCHESTER
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' r eport; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the s tatement of trustees' r esponsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 an auditor's report that 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 detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities. including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
We obtained an understanding of the laws and regulations applicable to the Charity and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were the most significant: the Charities Act 2011, UK GAAP, Charities SORP and tax legislation.
In addition, the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of noncompliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: employment law and data protection. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of Those Charged with Governance and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence if any.
We considered management’s opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including revenue recognition and the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial results and management bias in accounting estimates.

KINGSLAND CHURCH COLCHESTER
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGSLAND CHURCH COLCHESTER
Audit response to risks identified
In respect of the considerations for fraud we incorporated within our audit testing compliance with the procedures for approving and authorising payments and also reviewed the minutes of the trustee meetings to confirm payments made to approvals at those meetings.
We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Charities Act 2011 and UK tax legislation.
Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management.
We made enquiries in relation to the allocation of income and expenditure between restricted and unrestricted funds.
We addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
The Senior Statutory Auditor has assessed and concluded that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial assets comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors.
