## **RESERVE POLICY**
The church trustees review the level of funds in reserve which is the amount of unrestricted funds not supporting tangible assets to be equal to about 2 months of total budgeted expenditure. These reserves cover unknown future costs and allow any fluctuations in donations not to impact on the work of the charity or expose the charity to any financial risk. As at 31[st] March 2022 the free reserves were £68,048 because of little expenditure due to Covid-19 restrictions and the board plans to designate the excess reserves towards the purchase of church building. This amount is contentiously being reviewed to ensure it meets current and future risks.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees (hereinafter “trustees” of Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries UK Doncaster. Charity Registration Number: 1151215**
This report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 10 to 13, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (’the Act’).
## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner**
As trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirements of section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) do not apply and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations and to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act;
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiners 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 members 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 statement 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 130 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.
