TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 30[TH] JUNE 2026
The trustees are pleased to present their report for the year ended 30[TH] June 2026 for the charity, International Gospel of Truth Church with Charity Number 1143509.
The Trustees of the charity are: Ms Jennifer Quaye Ms Victoria Badoe Rev Sylvester Opoku Manu
The principal address of the charity is : Lenwood Hall
Coronation road London E13 9QB
OBJECTS
The main object of the charity is advancing the Christian faith worldwide in accordance with the doctrines set out in the statement of beliefs.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Church is governed by a leadership team on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position. The trustees appointed have served in an exemplary manner in providing much needed governance and administrative support and guidance to the charity throughout the year. None of the trustees received any remuneration during the financial year.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Objects of the organisation are to advance the Christian Faith [in accordance with the Statement of faith] in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom as the trustees see fit. 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.
ACHIEVMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The church continues to develop itself in the community. The church also continues to hold regular services that are open to the general public. The church also has been holding quarterly conferences and church events that has been well attended by many in the community. The church this year undertook an extension project in extending the church building so to increase the number of people that it can hold for its services
.
3
The trustees have been able to monitor the performance of the organisation through increased attendance to the services and testimonials given by members of the church on how their spiritual lives were impacted and improved by the organisation. The trustees believe that the objectives of the organisation was met this year as more attendants were present at the services and there were more testimonials of the positive impact of the church in the lives of the attendants.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The income of the church is above £375,000. This is a higher amount than on the previous year and the costs have been well managed over this period. So the church hopes to continue its work in the coming year without any unnecessary financial constraints. The church used most of its income on the rent for its building, the renovating the new building. The church donated money to its branch in Ghana for building maintenance. The church spent most of its income this year on the new property that it bought and renovated. The charity is a going concern.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The church intends to prepare for the purchase of its own premises. They will continue to support their yearly conferences and events. They plan to continue to hold conferences in the United Kingdom. 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.
RESERVE POLICY
It is the policy of the Church 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 church will maintain this level throughout the year.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The charity have 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.

Independent Examiner’s Report To the Trustees INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL OF TRUTH CHURCH
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 30[th ] June 2026 set out on the following pages which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies shown in the corresponding pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees of the church are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act),does not apply. It is my responsibility to :
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
-
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
-
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 church 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept( in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act: or
-
(2) to which , in my opinion , attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
