The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section - 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 statements below. ## **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 requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of - Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities ## have not been met; or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts 'to be reached. ## **Rolston Allen FCCA** Allen Robyn & Associates Ltd Chartered Certified Accountants 367 Caledonian Road London N7 9DQ Date: 5 ## **THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD PRAISE CITY STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021** |||**Unrestricted**|| |---|---|---|---| |**INCOMING RESOURCES**|**Notes**|**2021**|**2020**| |**_Incoming resources from generated funds_**|||| |Voluntary income|2|79,191|64,768| |||79,191|64,768| |**RESOURCES EXPENDED**|||| |Resources Expended to Charitable Activities|3|57,325|34,266| |Governance cost|4|1,806|5,463| |Management Costs|5|18,873|9,202| |Finance Charges|6|9|-| |**TOTAL RESOURCES EXPENDED**||78,013|48,931| |**NET INCOME/EXPENDITURE FOR THE YEAR**||**£1,178**|**£15,837**| |**RECONCILIATION OF FUNDS**|||| |**Total funds brought forward**||21,330|5,493| |**TOTAL FUND CARRIED FORWARD**||**£22,508**|**£21,330**| None of the charity's activities were acquired or discontinued during the year and there were no recognised gains and losses for 2015 or 2016 other than those included in the statement of financial activities.
