Trustees'S REPORT For the year ended 30th September 2025.
Trustees's responsibilities
Charity law applicable to charities in England/Wales requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for the period. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees have
-
selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently,
-
- made judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
-
stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
-
prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis (unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in operation).
The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other irregularities. These account has been delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to chariries subject to the small companies regime.
The report was approved by the Trustees on 20th November 2025 and signed on its behalf b

FLAME PENTECOSTAL CHURCH OF CHERUBIM & SERAPHIM MOVEMENT Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of Flame Pentecostal Church of Cherubim & Seraphim Movement Birmingham UK For the year ended 30th September 2025.
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30th September 2025 which are set out on page 6 to 14 Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of
the charity Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act), to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 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 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 statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requiremen
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or
- To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
