## C. STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP). 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the surplus or deficit of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## D. STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS 

So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charity’s independent examiners are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make them aware of any examination information and to establish that the charity’s independent examiners are aware ofthat information. 

## E. INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS 

The independent examiners, X-Star Management Services Limited will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

The results for the year and the financial position of the charity are as shown in the annexed financial statements. The total incoming resources for 2023 was £231722 as compared with £321,786 in 2022. This shows a fall in incoming over the previous year. This large decrease may be due to the effects of the cost-of-living crisis in UK. The Charity was able to meet all its expenses and had a surplus of £7,980. 

## Reserves policy 

The charity is keeping an appropriate level ofreserves to protect itself against any unforeseen eventualities such as COVID-19, which is currently having its toll on the finances of most charities across the globe. 

## Principal funding sources 

At present the majority of the church's funding continues to come from the tithes and collection of alms and annual harvest to support all its principal activities.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner 

The Church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

## Basis of Independent Examiner's report: 

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner. 

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Church 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 presenta ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

Independent Examiner's statement 

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: 

1. Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and ¢ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
