The Church has attracted a lot of online viewer’s world wide as a result of digital communications.

Members and online viewers gave testimonies as to how they became spiritually filled, inspired, revitalized and more desire to contribute to the community benefit and the willingness and eagerness to help one another materially and emotionally.

The major risks to which the Charity is exposed and reviews and systems to mitigate them.

The Trustees have identified that the principal risk affecting the church is the continued uncertainty relating to Covid-19 which has had an effect on the income received. This risk is being managed or mitigated by our robust internal control systems currently in place to rigorously monitor our controllable cost. All spending on capital items has been paused unless it is to do with health and safety.

TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Significant judgement and estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make significant judgements and estimates when applying accounting policies. The items in the financial statements where these judgements have been made are as follows:

The trustees yearly review the performance of its assets to identify indications of impairment. Where there is evidence of impairment the fixed asset is written down to the recoverable amount and any impairment losses are charged to operating losses. (in the year there were no impairment losses).

- Uncertainty of estimation

The trustees review its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at the end of each reporting year based on the physical situation and the expected utility of the assets.Uncertainties of these estimates relate to escalated wear of some audio and musical equipments. In this year equipment and furniture with aggregate cost of £316,023 and depreciation of £240,386 were written off. (note 10 }

Going Concern

The trustees are aware of the impact of Covid-19 on its resources ( as explained below - Risk & future assumptions); but the board is assured that Trinity Baptist Church has adequate resources to continue operations for the forseable future as explained below.

The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing Tithes & Offerings. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 December 2022, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

17

TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021

As stated above, the principal uncertainty currently facing the charity is the impact of the ongoing globa! Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent stages of this virus. The charity raise its funds mostly through the the congregants at church services. Therefore, ban on social gathering could have a significant change on the charity's income and service performance.

The charity continues to mitigate this risk by:

Income recognition

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income; it is probable that the income received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised once received. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met.

Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance There are no deferred or accrued income other than Covenant aid -income tax recoverable received after the year end.

Allocating costs to activities

Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.

The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-

Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity.

Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of of people employed within any partiular activity. Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.

Non specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures

Estimation techniques used in apportioning costs - the trustees apply what they consider to be reasonable judgements in apportioning costs.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Freehold premises 0 % straight line Plant and machinery 15% Reducing balance Motor vehicles 20% Reducing balance

A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken. (see note above on impairment)

No depreciation is provided on freehold property and improvements because it is the practice to maintain the property in a continual state of sound repair. Accordingly, the life is so long and the residual value so high that the Trustees consider that depreciation calculated in accordance with accepted accounting standards would be immaterial.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors

Creditors for supply of services are measured at transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised costs using the effective rate of interest method.

Cash and bank balances

Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.

Leasing and hire purchase contracts and commitments

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are those where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the charity, are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability.

The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income ona straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions - defined contribution schemes

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

The charity has no Designated funds.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

There are no endowment funds.

  1. Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

The Bank loan of £2,278,021 and a loan of £610,607 from the Baptist Group are secured on the Church's properties. The trustees are of the opinion that the current market values of the properties , £5.9m is far in excess of the loans.

Also included with other creditors is a loan of £1,566,177 from a private property company.

The trustees are of the opinion that as the loans are more than covered by marketable properties, the lenders withdrwal will not affect the operations of the charity.
