FINANCIAL REVIEW
Bank accounts have remained in credit throughout the year in line with the Trustees strict policy of only committing to expenditure once funds are in place to complete such projects.
The trustees are pleased to report they are satisfied with the year’s financial results in the light of the UK's continued economic downturn, but feel something must be done to return the Church's regular giving to past levels.
The Trustees meet regularly to ensure that the Charity does not commit to expenditure beyond its' means. As such the Trustees do not believe that a specific reserves policy is required. However, as a guard against contingencies the Trustees ensure that the Charity always has a minimum resource available. Generally, liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure. The funds available to the charity for the financial year ending April 30, 2024 amounted £68,870; which comprises of Tithes, Offerings and Donations amounting to £58,485, and HMRC Grant of £10,385. The operational activities and financing have been well managed over the periods, and the charity is still in a good position to manage its on-going and futures operations within its financial generation limits.
RESERVES AND INVESTMENT POLICY
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the main reserves of the charity capable of being able to cover at least 3 months’ expenditures necessary to carry out the main objectives of the association. The charity has the policy to invest excess funds as it becomes feasible in safe and ethical ventures and investible sources. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year. At no time during the year in question did the Charity have sufficient liquid funds to warrant an investment policy.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees review the Charity's exposure to internal and external risks on an ongoing basis. This has resulted in the creation of a Child Protection Policy, an Equal Opportunities Policy and a Health and Safety Policy, all of which are reviewed regularly.
The Trustees are aware of the requirement to record such assessments and to ensure that systems are established to enable external risks to be assessed and mitigated. The charity has assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed to, in particular those related to operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
GRANT MAKING POLICY
The Charity does not necessarily make grants; however, the Trustees may consider to make contribution to other community activities and events in furtherance of the Charity's aims and objectives.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOUSE OF PRAYERS AND DOMINION CHAPEL UK LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2024
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and the Trustees Report for the year ending April 30, 2024. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993) and that an independent examination is appropriate.
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993), to follow the procedures laid down by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the Charities Act 1993) and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. The examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. The accounts and associate reports also include consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by an audit and consequently an audit opinion is not expressed on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention, which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:
-
(a) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Charities Act 1993;
-
(b) To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of the Charities Act 1993; have not been met.
No other matters have come to my attention, to which, in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
