SE6 4LA BANKERS NATWEST Catford 159 Rushey Green Catford Lomdon SE6, 4BJ 1 ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH** ## **Trustee’s Report** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and UK Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently - Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent - State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements • Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 2 ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH** ## **Trustee’s Report** ## **Reporting Public Benefit** In planning our activities the charity as taken into serious consideration the guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our community and congregation through; - Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel, developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ. - Provision of pastoral care for members of our congregation and community - Acting as a point of contact for members who need help and providing counselling to our members and local community. ## **Aim and Purpose** The Glory of the Kingdom of Jerusalem church was set-up as a charity to promote the Christian Faith and also help the members of its congregation. During the first year we have been able to plan and carry out our activities with these in mind. ## **Objective and Activities** The church now has a home at 67 Rushey Green SE6 4LA for which we have taken a five years lease. This has been one of the major projects undertaken this year and we are seeing the benefits of having a permanent residence for the church. The number of worshipers has been increasing and we can now count more than 100 regular members every week. We did not only get a permanent residence but we made some renovation of the premises to make it more conducive for our congregation. We painted the building and also bought chairs and musical instruments for the church. ## **Achievements and Performance;** This year has been very important for the church as we concentrate on our activities in the UK. We are growing our membership and attracting new members into our daily service. We have seen a slight improvement in contribution over the year. Total revenue is showing higher than 2023. We are also making good use of the pool of preachers who are available and calling on guest speakers regularly to come and help spread the mission. We have also tried to increase our total spend on the Sunday school service for the younger members of our congregation and we are hoping to continue the same in 2025/2025. We are now very settled in our new location and service is very interesting as we have not got good instruments. We have also been able to provide direct help to members of the community through regular visits to the home of members in need during happy moments like child birth and sad moments like the loss of a relation or family disputes. We made some direct contributions to members in need. 3 ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH** ## **Trustee’s Report** INDEPENDENT EXAMINER A resolution to appoint Mayah & Co Consulting as independent examiners for the ensuring year will be proposed at the annual general meeting Signed on behalf of the Directors & Trustees Lokatshi Shongo 4 ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT Year ended 28[th] February 2025** I report on the financial statements and notes of the organisation for the year to 28[th] February 2025 This report is made solely to the Charity ‘Directors and Trustees as a body in accordance with Section 43(3) of the charities Act 1993 (the 1993 act) as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006. Our examination has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s directors those matters we are required to state to them in an independent examiners report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the company’s directors as a body, for our examination, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. ## RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER As described on page 2, the company’s directors are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The company’s directors consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the 1993 Act as amended) and that an independent examiner is needed. Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to Examine the financial statements (under section 43(3) (a) of the 1993 Act, as amended To follow procedures laid down in the General Directions To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINARS STATEMENT My examination was carried in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company 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 directors 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 whether the accounts present a true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and UK Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) ## 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 directors have not met the requirements to ensure that • Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006), and • financial statements are prepared which agree with the accounting records comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities or (2) to which in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH ## **INCOME AND EXPENDITURE** ## **PERIOD TO 28[th] February 2025** Jake Mayah Independent Examiner Mayah & Co Consulting Chartered Certified Accountants Barking Enterprise Centre 50 Cambridge Road Barking IG11 8FG ## THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH **INCOME AND EXPENDITURE PERIOD TO 28[th] February 2025** The Glory of New Jerusalem Church STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES (INCORPORATING THE INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNTS) YEAR ENDING 28[th ] February 2025 |**Notes**

Signed on behalf of the Trustees Lokatshi Shongo ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH** **Balance sheet 28[th] February 2025** Trustee Charity Registration number: 1145125 ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH** ## **Notes to the financial statements Year ended 28[th] February 2025** ## **1. Accounting policies** ## **Accounting convention and going concern** The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards. The particular accounting policies adopted are described below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (minimum 12 months). ## **Cash flow statement** The directors have taken exemption from preparing a consolidated cash flow statement available under FRS 1 Cash Flow Statements, on the basis that the ultimate parent company produces consolidated financial statements in which the group is included, and are publicly available. ## **Intangible assets - goodwill** Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiary or associated undertakings and businesses, representing any excess of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its estimated useful economic life which is ten years. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are shown at original historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, as follows: |Leasehold improvements|period of lease| |---|---| |Computers equipment|3 years| |Computer software|5 years| |Fixtures, fittings and office equipment|5 years| . ## **Taxation** Current tax, including UK corporation tax and foreign tax, is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the group's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted. Deferred tax is not recognised when fixed assets are sold and it is more likely than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over, being charged to tax only if and when the replacement assets are sold. ## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Taxation (continued)** In accordance with FRS 19, deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH** ## **Notes to the financial statements Year ended 28[th] February 2025** of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in financial statements. Deferred tax is not provided on timing differences arising from the revaluation of investment properties where there is no commitment to sell the asset. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted ## **Turnover** Turnover represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes. Revenue is recognised over the period of delivery of services and as per the terms of the agreement with each customer. ## **Foreign currencies** Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in pounds sterling at the rates of exchange at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at year end. All exchange differences are included in the profit and loss account. ## **Leases** Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where the period to the review date on which the rent is first expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate is shorter than the full lease term, in which case the shorter period is used. ## **THE GLORY OF NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH** ## **Notes to the financial statements Year ended 28[th] February 2025** ## **2.
