## **Financial Review & Reserves Polic y** 

## **Financial Review** 

Income increased by £7,484 to £71,023.  This was largely due to an increase in income from donations and related gift aid; the increase was partly offset by the absence of any grant income this year from the Government’s Job Retention Scheme. 

Expenditure increased by £23,072 to £85,741.  This was largely due to an increase in payments for the hire of venues following the resumption of in person Sunday services and an increase in grant payments (largely to support ministries operating in Sri Lanka). 

As a result the charity has reported a deficit this year of £14,718 (2021: a surplus of £870) and the charity’s net assets have decreased by £14,718 to £47,941.  Net assets includes cash of £33,856, of which £23,253 is unrestricted. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Board of Directors have established a policy whereby the unrestricted cash held by the charity should be maintained at between 2 and 6 months of usual expenditure, which equates to reserves between £15,000 and £45,000.   At the year-end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £23,253 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.

The directors 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 directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.  In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: 

1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

2. Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

3. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

4. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

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.

## **BETHEL INTERNATIONAL REVIVAL CHURCH LTD** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **1 Statutory Information** 

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. 

## **2 Accounting Policies** 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011.  The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102. 

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

## a) Going concern 

The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

## b) Income 

Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

Income from donations and legacies includes recoverable gift aid, which is recognised when the related donation is received.  Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. 

## c) Expenditure 

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity. 

## d) Fund accounting 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

## **BETHEL INTERNATIONAL REVIVAL CHURCH LTD** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **2 Accounting Policies continued** 

## e) Tangible fixed assets 

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged: 

Fixtures, fittings and equipment Over 3 to 7 years Motor vehicles Over 5 years 

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

## f) Pension scheme arrangements 

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds. 

## g) Taxation 

The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. 

## h) Financial instruments 

The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). 

## i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement 

The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement. 

## j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement 

The trustees do not consider that there any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
