TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 CONT’D
During the year, the charity celebrated ten years anniversary. Many friends and families and other charities were invited. The celebration was glorious.
These are the other highlights of 2022 events and activities:
- We marked ‘Jeans for Jesus Day’
- We conducted our annual women conference
- We organized bible school for the spiritual upliftment of our member.
- We organized awards evening at Coventry University, London.
- We regularly conducted our Friday Night Vigil
- We had our regular trustee meetings to discuss the spiritual and executive running of the church.
- We had our cross over night service at Farmhouse Venue, Rumford.
- Our after Sunday service lunch continues as an act of love for one another. Members and guests are fed physically and spiritually.
Added to these are the increase in the level of donations of our members.
As stated in our previous report, the church set up a Fabric Task Group which involves some community services. Some of their activities during the year is clearing the grounds of rubbish, clearing the drains to stop overflowing when it rains, cleaning the inside of the church main building; ensuring that it is fit for purpose.
We thank the Fabric Task Group for looking after the building. We also thank all our volunteers for the various work done during that year.
Finally, the offer of free Mathematics tuition continues to grow exponentially. In the current year, TMS experienced another record high with more students attending tuition. Help, support and mentoring have enabled all students to succeed with stellar grades.
I am pleased to report that God has been our help and strength. With all the various departments working collaboratively, we continue to grow and spread the gospel. Praise be to God!

## TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED
31 DECEMBER 2022- CONT’D
## **Future Development Plans**
The charity aims at building on its current achievement in effectively spreading the ethos, love and hope that Christian faith offers. It also aims at building upon its current efforts of community involvement, in its bid to make our community and the larger world a better place for all.

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 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 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 Church and of the surplus or deficit of the Church for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Church will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Church and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Independent Examiner**
The Trustees appointed JOS Accountants Limited, a firm of Accounting & Management Consultants, as the Charity’s independent examiner. A resolution for re-appointment as independent examiner will be proposed during the Trustees meeting for the year.
This report was approved by the trustees and signed on its behalf by:

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
We have examined the financial statements, which comprise the financial activities, the balance sheet, the related notes and the accounting policies of The Redeemed Christian Church of God The Master’s Sanctuary for the year ended 31st December 2022.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner**
As described earlier, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. It is my responsibility to carry out an examination of those financial statements and to issue a report based on that examination.
## **Scope of examination**
We conducted my examination in accordance with directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Charities Act 1993. An examination is limited to enquiries of the charity's personnel and analytical and review procedures applied to financial data and this provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit, and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
• To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
• To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
2. To which in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
