## **CHRIST UNITED PENTECOSTAL MINISTRIES LIBERTY HOUSE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHRIST UNITED PENTECOSTAL MINISTRIES LIBERTY HOUSE**
We report on the accounts of Christ United Pentecostal Ministries Liberty House for the year ended 31[st] December 2023 which are set out on pages 7 and 8.
## **Respective Responsibilities of the Directors and Examiner**
As Charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that the audit requirement of s. 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) do not apply. It is our responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Act and Regulations.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as the 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 our 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 Charities Act
- to prepare accounts which accord with the Accounting records and comply with Accounting requirements of the Charities Act and the Regulations have not been met, or
2. To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of accounts to be reached.
