I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

**Apostolic Faith Mission Stevenage Trustees Report for the Year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Accounting Policies** 

## **(a) Basis of preparation** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Trust Deed, the Charities Act applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

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. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **(b) Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. All restricted and designated funds are for the purpose of purchasing a larger place of worship. 

## **(c) Incoming resources** 

Voluntary income, including donations, provide core funding and, are recognised where there is certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income from charitable and other Trading activities includes income recognised as earned when the goods or services are provided under contract where there is certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **(d) Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Expenditure provided through contractual agreements is recognised when goods or services supplied. Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income. Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of its assets and are associated with statutory requirements. 

Support costs include central costs that have been allocated to charity running costs on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

**Apostolic Faith Mission Stevenage Trustees Report for the Year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **(e) Taxation** 

VAT not recovered is not separately analysed and is charged to the statement of financial activities when the expenditure it relates is incurred. 

Tax recovered from voluntary income received under gift aid is recognised when the related income is received and is allocated to the income category to which the income relates. 

## **(f) Fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible assets are stated at cost and depreciated over their useful economic lives at these rates: Fixture and fittings 25%, Motor vehicles 25%, Office Equipment 30%, Machinery and Equipment 25% straight line. 

Where the recoverable amount of a tangible asset is found to be below its net book value, the asset is written down to its full recoverable amount and any loss on impairment is charged to the relevant expenditure category of the statement of financial activities. 

## **(g) Retirement Benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense when they fall due.
