The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 Activity, business review and public benefit The Company was incorporated on 5th January, 1993 and acts as trustee (whether as charity trustee or as custodian trustee) for the Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches (hereinafter called "the Fellowship") and for such other charitable Churches as shown on pages 14 and 15. The Trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and are of the opinion that this is fulfilled by the charity's continued support of establishments for the advancement of religion. The trustees meet four times throughout the year to carry out their duties and further meetings are held as and when required. During 2022 in total 4 meetings were heid. Day to day operations are overseen by a smaller sub-committee of Custodian Trustees. Risk Management, Finance and Audit, Charity Investment, Office and Employment and Grants and Loans are, where the Board deem appropriate, overseen by Board appointed and Board led sub-committees. The Trust Corporation has continued to support the EFCC’s Mission Statement to 'grow healthy churches' with a particular emphasis on strategic grants to enable church revitalisation projects and on championing healthy church governance within our fellowship and trusteeship churches. Typically grants made will support the installation of a minister into a church for 2-3 years. Such churches that may not have had a paid minister, so vital to spiritual leadership, ministry and growth, for many years. During 2022 significant Ministry Support Grants were made to churches in the West Midlands and West Yorkshire. To support fit for purpose modern governance structures and working in partnership with our solicitors Wrigleys LL.P, the EFCC Trust Board has invested in the develop bespoke Congregational Church Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee (CLG) Articles of Association for the use of EFCC churches who are looking update their governance away from traditional charitable land trusts. Alongside this work, we have continued to invest in a dedicated role to support trusteeship churches - our Trusteeship Coordinator. The Trust Corporation has also concentrated on the EFCC's own policies and procedure culminating in the adopt of a new Safeguarding Policy (in early 2023) and the creation of a paid Designated Safeguarding Lead role, supported by a dedicated Safeguarding Director and the EFCC's Operations Manager. Alongside our major strategies, the trustees have continued to make grants and loans to churches affiliated to The Evangelical Fellowship of Churches to cover repairs, maintenance of buildings and to meet other miscellaneous needs. Payments are also made to support ministers on low stipends and to retired ministers and their widows to support their housing needs. The Trust Corporation has for many years encouraged churches to provide good pension provision for their ministers through our pension matching scheme. This will typically double the level of contributions made into an individual's pension pot. There are a number of properties owned by the EFCC Trust Corporation Limited, some of which are used as accommodation for retired ministers. Vital to the Trust Corporation's ability to provide financially for our Fellowship Charity (Charity no. 262802) and the grants made to churches has been the Board's stewarding of investments and resources to generate income. This continues to be an important part of the EFCC Trust Board's work. The trustees work closely with the Committee of The Evangelical Fellowship of Congregational Churches and during 2022 have looked to deepen that relationship with Joint Meetings that help both bodies to consider spiritual and practical governance issues in a joined up and more effective way.

ME19 4TA ## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES The trustees (who are also the directors of EFCC Trust Corporation Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - - observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the trustees are aware: - there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and - - the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. ## AUDITORS The auditors, Smailes Goldie, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Rev. G. Evans (Chairman) - Trustee Page 3 ## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of EFCC Trust Corporation Limited ## Opinion We have audited the financial statements of EFCC Trust Corporation Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31st December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 31st December 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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. ## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 - In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: - the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and - - the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Page 4 ## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of EFCC Trust Corporation Limited ## Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or - the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. ## Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 intemal 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 charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concem, 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. ## Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 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 focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, tax legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and considering the intemal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; - - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and - investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. - In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; - enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims: Page 5 ## Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of EFCC Trust Corporation Limited 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. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 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 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. ## Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES ## Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. ## Income All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. ## Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: |Assetclass:|Depreciation method and rate| |---|---| |Freehold properties|Nodepreciation has been charged onfreehold| ||properties as the ongoing programme of| ||maintenance is such thatany depreciation charge| ||wouldbeimmaterial| Consecrated land and buildings and moveable church furnishings Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the financial statements by $10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## Investment property Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## Taxation The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. ## Fund accounting Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Page 11 continued... EFCC Trust Corporation Limited Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the year ended 31st December 2022 ## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued ## Fund accounting Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. ## Investments Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in net gains/(losses) on investments in the SOFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment. |2.|DONATIONS AND LEGACIES||| |---|---|---|---| |||2022|2021| |||£|£| ||Gifts|3,169|2,680| ||Grants|:|4,698| |||3,169|4,378| ||Grants received, included in the above, are as follows:||| |||2022|2021| |||£|£| ||Othergrants|-|1,698| |3.|INVESTMENT INCOME||| |||2022|2021| |||£|£| ||Rents received
