**THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD - PRAISE CITY Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2020** 

I report to the trustees on my examina�on of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## **Responsibili�es and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the prepara�on of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Chari�es Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

I report in respect of my examina�on of the charity’s accounts carried out under sec�on 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examina�on I have followed all the applicable Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under sec�on 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiners statement** 

I have completed my examina�on.  I confirm that no ma�ers have come to my a�en�on in connec�on with the examina�on giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accoun�ng records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by sec�on 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Chari�es (Accounts and Reports) Regula�ons 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a ma�er considered as part of an independent examina�on. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other ma�ers in connec�on with the examina�on to which a�en�on should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
