The charity benefits from the tireless contribution of its volunteers who were involved its service delivery. An estimated 6000 hours were given by volunteers during the year which if monetized at a value of £10 per hour would amount to approximately £60,000.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MAY 2020 TO THE TRUSTEES OF SHILOH TABERNACLE
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2020 which are set out on the following pages and have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies shown in the corresponding.
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 142(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of Charities Act 2011;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of 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
thetrustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 4I of the Act);
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and
complywith the accounting requirements of Act; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
