Presbyterian Church of Ghana Anointed Congregation FOR THE YEAR ENDED 3111212024 TRUSTEES. REPORT FINANCIAL REVIEW Th8 charity has no material investments with the exception of the propety normally used as a mansa. The main sources of funds for the Church are offertories, dues, tithes, thanksgiving and annual harvests from m8mbers during Sunday service8. Details of the Church's financial activities for the year and the state of affairs as at 31 December 2023 are set on pages 9 to 15 The Church made a loss of £8105(2023 surplus: £36669). This loss was due to various professional fees of £56083.for acquisition of the new property which was treated as revenue expenditure. This loss is one off and the church will revert to surplus iri the comming year. RESERVE POLICY The Board of Trustees has examined the charivs requirement for reserve in light of the main risk to the charity. It has established a policy whereby the unrestrrcted funds held by the charity should be 6 months of forthcoming unavoidable operational expenditure. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue th8 current activilies of the chartty in the event of a significant drop in income. The effective free reserve is £.225184.. which equates more than 6 mnths of expected future operating expenditure which is above the level detemiined by the policy. The Trustees, having assessed the financial sttuation concluded that the Church has adequate resources for its purpose and are of the opinion that it will continue in business as a going concem. They have also considered whether there are any major risks to which the Church may be currently exposed and are of the opinion that none exist. FUTURE PLANS Our future plans for the Church are: i Increase in Church membership through various fonns of evangelism. ii. Revitalize the Young People's Guild (YPG) of the COngreglOn. page 5
