CERTIFICATE I report on the accounts of the Church for the year ended 5 April 2024, which are set out on pages 2, 3 and 4 attached hereto. The charity's trustees are resFM)nsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144{2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 201 l Act}) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 201 l Act). Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145{5)(b) of the 201 l Act): and Stat¢ whether particular matters have come to my attention. My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence thal would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention: ( l ) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe thal in any mat¢rial respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 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.
