LIVING FAITH FOURSQUARE GOSPEL CHURCH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Companies Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the requirement of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the statement of recommended practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
