THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD SOLUTION ASSEMBLY (A company limited by guarantee) REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024 STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Law applicable to incorporated companies in England and Wales requires the trustees, who are also the directors of the company, to prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of its financial activities during the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements, trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently,
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
-
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statement, and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
-
inappropriate to presume that the project will continue in operation.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper records which disclose at any time the financial position of the project. They are also responsible for safe guarding the assets of the organisation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The surplus for the year was £21,197 and reserve for the year ended 31 May 2024, was £125,922. Included in the reserves was unrestricted fund of £121,699.
The trustees have been aware of the need to comply with good practice guidelines issued by the Charity Commission on free reserves and the RCCG Solution Assembly’s policy is included in the notes to the accounts.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees have reviewed its free reserves policy and have turned its entire unrestricted fund into an emergency reserve to enable the RCCG to meet its obligations in the event of a shortfall in income or sudden upturn in expenditure.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees have examined the major risks which the RCCG faces and believe that by maintaining our free reserves at a reasonable level, combined with our annual review of the controls over key financial systems, this will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees will have to examine other operational and business risks which the organisation may face and establish systems to mitigate the significant risks.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

VOLUNTEERS
The RCCG recognises the significant contributions made by volunteers.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement [I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that:
• accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
• the accounts do not accord with such records; or • the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
•the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
