Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30th June 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy
The net incoming resources for the year amounted to £29,615 All these have been unrestricted reserves and no fund is allocated to restricted project.
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets. The free reserves held by the church should be 3 months of annual expenditure. At this level, the trustees feel that would be able to continue the current activities of the church in the event of significant drop in funding.
Principal funding sources
This is provided mainly through voluntary tithes and offerings by the church members and through gift aid scheme. Pledges are also taken for specific projects.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The church will continue to explore various ways of spreading the gospel of Christ in an affective manner. The charity is also looking to grow in membership and continue to develop its members to make life - changing impact in society, plant more parishes and due to the increase in the number of members, our future plan is to accommodate those members and likely additional.

The trustees (who are also the directors of RCCG - Divine Covenant Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD DIVINE COVENANT CENTRE
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 set out on pages four to nine. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. The charity's gross income exceeded £25,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of FCCA DChA. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 43 of the 1993 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the 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 statements 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 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
