TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
The Board of Trustees, who are the trustees for charity law purposes, submit their annual report and the financial statements of Celestial Church of Christ Ileri-Oluwa Parish Manchester for the year ended 31 January 2021. The Board of Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005)'.
Structure, governance and management
The 3 Trustees are:
-
Adewunmi Adesanya
-
Clement Olufemi Komolafe
-
Kafilat Aramide Avoola
The Trustees play a primary role in ensuring good governance and functioning of the charity. The Board’s role, functions and responsibilities are quite clearly defined.
The Charity currently has a strong team of Advisory Board members in the UK who have helped to secure financial support and contribute to the future planning of the organisation.
Governing document:
The Charity governing document is a declaration of the trust that was executed on 1[st] December 2002 as amended by supplemental deed on 5[th] August 2010. The Charity is governed by a board on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees:
The members of the General Trustee Board are trustees for the purposes of charity law. New trustees may be appointed by resolution of a meeting of the trustees.

Reserve Policy
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditures that may arise from time to time. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year.
Risk Management
The charity has assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed to, in particular those related to operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
Public Benefit:
The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 and have paid due regard to public benefit when preparing this report. The benefit provided to the public is consistent with the aims of the charity in UK.
Objectives and activities:
The Objects of the organisation are first to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs for the benefit in the United Kingdom and in such other parts of the world as the trustees may think fit from time to time. The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance:
The Organisation continues to hold successful services through the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith. The organisation continues to hold its outreaches and conferences. This year during its harvest conference held over seven days it covered the accommodation costs, travel costs and meals for all attendees that attended. This proved to be a good success again. The organisation also supported a number of branch parishes with resources during the year.
Plans for Future Developments:

The intended re- appointment of our present independent examiner at the upcoming trustee meeting is expected to support the financial operations by making it more effective.

The church continues to use its savings scheme with Kingdom bank to build up its savings.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CELSTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST ILERI-OLUWA PARISH MANCHESTER
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet with associate notes.
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my examination work.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, and they consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts (under Section 145 of the Charities Act);
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Group/Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as 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 my 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 Act; and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
Signed: Dated: 23/12/2021

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' published in December 2005 and applicable accounting standards.
1.2
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 and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.3 Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of financial activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated services or facilities, which comprise donated services, are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised where there is no financial cost borne by a third party.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
1.4 Resources expended
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled.
