Contributions of volunteers
In additions to members' financial contributions to the charity, some do provide very valuable voluntary services. Some of these roles and activities voluntarily provided include counselling, teachings in the schools, community work, administrative duties, music ministry and other areas of church life. Measurement issues including attributing an economic value to such unpaid contributions, prevents inclusion of such contributions within the Statement of Financial Activities.

All matters are subject to prayer and God's direction and the Trustees of the Church. Major decisions at any church meetings are determine by simple majority votes cast by members present with each members having one vote.

Transactions and Financial Position
The financial statements are set out on pages 5 to 7. The financial statements have been prepared implementing the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (effective April 2005) and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2005). The Trustees consider the financial position of the charity during the year has been satisfactory.

The board of trustees are satisfied that the charity's assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in the foreseeable future.
The charity relies on offerings, tithes and various donations from the members as identified in the financial statements, whose support is greatly valued.
Other areas of source of funds are Covenant Gift and bank investment income. These funds enables the chairty to carry out its obligations during the year.
Major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems to mitigate those risks
Financial
The charity is open to the usual financial risks of any organisation, and the charity has introduced controls to minimise these risks, such as two signature being required for payments from the bank account, an appointed deacon/pastor of the church is required to authorise payments for purchases and also the accounts are regularly explained to members of the charity and are open for member's inspection at any time
Children and Vulnerable adults
Work with children and vulnerabe adults are open to risks. The policy is that visitation, counsellig and any work involving children and vulnerable adults are done by trained persons who work in pairs. New volunteers to the children ministry are recruited on the basis of Baptist Union's policy for the recruitment of volunteers for children's ministry which are in line with Government policy.
Statement of Directors' and Trustees Responsibilities
Charity Law requires the Board to prepare the financial statement for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements, the Board is required to:-
2
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have
-
been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charity which is sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act. 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.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the auditors in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examinining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

Respective responsibilities of trustee and examiner
The Charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year (under section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

examine the financial statements (under section 43 (3) (a) of the Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the financial statements.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
- to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the account requirements of the Act have not been met; or

1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 1993 and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Small Entities (FRSSE), and all other applicable accounting standards, effective June 2002, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, effective October 2000, adapted to meet the needs of unicorporated organisations.
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
Incoming Resources
Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis.
Investment Income
Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis.
Deferred Income
In accordance with the statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales grants, received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate.
Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are included as creditors in the financial statements.
Recognition of Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Chairty Commissioners for England and Wales.
Charitable Expenditure
Charitable expenditure includes all expenditure directly related to the charity and comprises the following:-
Activities in furtherance of the charity's objectives

Management and administration of the charity
Management and administration costs represent expenditure incurred in the management of the Charity's assets, organisational administration and compliance with the charitable and statutory requirements.

OPEN DOORS BAPTIST CHURCH Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2021
The Companies Act 1985 requires all properties belonging to companies to be depreciated. However, this requirement conflicts with the generally accepted principle set out in SSAP 19 and the overriding requirement to show a true and fair view. The Board of Trustees considers that because the property is not held for consumption, but for its investment potential, to depreciate it would not give a true and fair view, and that although the charity is exempt from the full application of SSAP 19, and has not had a formal professional valuation, of the property, but has relied on the best of the board of the market value, in order to conserve funds for the charitable purposes of the charity.
If this policy had not been adopted, the deficit for the financial year would have been increased by depreciation. However, the amount of depreciation cannot reasonably be quantified because depreciation is only one of many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount to which might otherwise have been shown cannot be separately identified.
Fixed Asset and Depreciation
The tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets (less their expected value) over their estimated useful lives.
A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken.
The principal annual rates used for depreciation are as follows:
| Land and Building | 0% per annum straight line. |
|---|---|
| Office Equipment | 25% per annum straight line. |
| Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment | 25% per annum straight line. |
Capital Grants
The Board of Trustees considers that, in order to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (effective October 2000), grants of a capital nature given for specific purposes and fully utilised in the furtherance of the purposes of the charity should be credited to the fixed assets fund after the funds have been properly expended on the restricted purpose. The related assets is shown in the balance sheet at the cost of acquisition or subsequent valuation.
The related assets are subject to restrictions by the grant making organisation on their use and disposal, and these restrictions are noted in the fixed asset section of these accounts. The fixed asset fund so created is treated as a restricted fund.
Taxation
As a charity, the organisation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax (VAT) is not recoverable by the organisation, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Funds Structure Policy
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.
Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the trustee to carefully monitor application of those funs in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
There is no formal policy on the allocation of funds to designated funds.
There is no formal policy to transfer between funds, other than that described under the Capital Gains policy above. Any proposed transfer between funds would be considered on the particular circumstances.
