We are thankful to the God of our father Ezekiel Guti for the opportunity to prepare to enter into a new year and nem, season by His grace. We do not know what is in it. but our God knoivs everything. For guidance in these sacred prayer programs our leaders in the outside nations should prepare their own praj'er items according to the needs in their nations. as V*'e were guided by our father. the Apostle and Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ezra 8.21: I Chronicles 28.9). (Please read this letter slowly so thai everyone undersiands. Read all ilie Scripture i"efei'ences cited in tl?is cover letter). The new year we are entering in is a year of Continuing to practice to be true disciples who understand and are rooted and grounded in our Church Bible Doctrine in unity, loveg prayer, and the fear of God. We are therefore encouraged to continue practicing the lite ot" the Kingdc)In of God and working on our characters to be more like our Lord Jesus Christ. (Galatians 4.19; Colossians 2.7; Ephesians 3.17). We keep holding on to the Divine pattern of our Church that yields positive results as stated in the ZAOGA-FIF History Book of Remeinbrance on page l O. which says, "this ministry was bom and has come this far through intensive praver and fasting. We also take serious heed to the warnings we received from the ZAOGA-FIF History Book of Remembrance on page 20, that we should guard against pride, the love of money• and the temptation of women or men (sexual immorality). The call for "'fear not. sin not" should sound louder as we aim to remain true disciples who prdctice what we learned and received and heard and saw from the life and teachings of our father. Philippians 4.9. Therefore, it is very important that our fasting and praying is not just ritual but serious intercession accompanied by true repentance where necessary. Isaiah 58.6: Proverbs 15.29, "-The Lord is t.ar from the wicked, but He hears the pra)er of the righteous. Let us daily intercede for our Senior Archbishop, Professor Eunor Guti, as well as our father (the Presiding Bishop) and our mother, our Archbishops: Bishops, Apostles, together with their spouses, and all our Church leaders all over the World that the God of Ezekiel may continue to give thein victory over all kinds of spiritual warfares that they face. (Romans 15.30; Ephesians 6.12). Those who are pregnant should not fasL but rather spend more time reading the Word of God and praying. We should try to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid dozing at our work places.
As usual we are all encouraged to participate in the organized chain prayer groups, and to spend more time reading and meditating on the Word of God (Joshua 1.8; Psalm I:?_3). The Ten Days Prayer Convention is from the 2nd to the 5th of January ?0? 5. The God of our father Ezekiel Guti bless us and strengthen us all to remain fervent in prayer.

MISSIONS
As we continue in the legacy of our father, God gave us grace to raise £669,568.50 to support missionary work, to enable missionaries to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations of the world. We are humbled as a nation that every year, we have committed time on our annual calendar to work towards that noble cause, GO YEE THEREFORE …THE NUMBER ONE THING!!!
We give glory to God of our father Ezekiel Guti who continues to amaze us. After the Ezekiel Guti Convention Centre in Birmingham, which was officially opened in 2019, He enabled us to buy centres in Edinburgh [Scotland], Leeds [Yorkshire], and Warrington [Manchester]. Our future plans and desire as a nation is to have at least one building that belongs to us in all our 9 provinces where we can gather anytime as children of God without restrictions. ·Leadership Training
All our nine provinces have included leadership seminars in their calendar of events, to train, educate, empower and equip our Deacons and Elders. The areas to be covered include Church Doctrine, bringing understanding of roles and responsibilities in line with our Guidance, Rules and Policy so that we are all equipped to perpetuate the legacy of our father Archbishop Professor Ezekiel H Guti as we continue to serve the Lord effectively and meaningfully.
CONCLUSION
Our heartfelt acknowledgement and sincere gratitude go to the Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, our father the Presiding Bishop, Dr Joseph Joe Guti & Pastor Nyasha Miriam Guti for their support and prayers which have brought the nation this far. We can never thank God enough for what He has done, for having enabled His bond servant Professor Ezekiel H Guti who is now His glory, to take the gospel of the Kingdom to more than 5 continents of the world. As a nation we will endeavour to perpetuate the legacy that our father left us.

WEST MIDLANDS PROVINCE
Introduction
The West Midlands Province has demonstrated remarkable and consistent growth across multiple areas, reflecting its adherence to the organizational vision of expansion and sustainability. The statistics and membership strength signify an ongoing upward trajectory that is aligned with the organization’s goals. This growth can be categorized into three key domains: financial growth, spiritual growth, and numerical growth. Below is a detailed analysis of each area:
OVERSEERS S & T MAYEMU
Vision
Financial Growth Spiritual Growth Numerical Growth
Numerical Growth
We saw a steady increase in membership strength, which highlights the PROVINCE’S successful efforts in soul winning, member retention, and active participation. This is indicative of effective outreach initiatives, community integration, and a focus on fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment. Furthermore, the expanding membership base suggests the intensive follow up programs.
Spiritual Growth
The spiritual journey of the members is another standout success. People aren’t just joining—they’re growing. The teachings, activities, and gatherings are helping believers deepen their connection to the God of our father. This focus on personal and collective spiritual development is creating a strong and unified church, with members who feel genuinely invested in what they’re building together.
Financial Stability
The financial health of the province has shown a positive trajectory, supported by the active contributions of the members and the prudent management of resources by our capable finance team. This growth reflects both the understanding of the believers on tithing and effective financial stewardship by the leadership. The availability of resources has enabled the province to sustain its current operations while planning for future growth and community-driven initiatives. We pray for 100% participation for all our believers in the province, in regards to tithing.

GENERAL COMMENT
Therefore as a province, we have seen a 25.18% rise in our tithes from July to October 2024
GO QUICKLY
The West Midlands Province, comprising Birmingham, Wales, Bristol, and Wolverhampton, experienced remarkable growth in 2024, with membership increasing from 229 ladies in March to approximately 372 by October. Under the leadership of Overseer Talent Mayemu and Elder Gretchen Paradza, the province focused on fostering unity, prayer, and empowerment. Key events included a transformative prayer retreat in March at Hebron Hall, Cardiff, attended by over 110 ladies, where teachings on love, unity, and ministering in God’s house led to testimonies of healing and restored faith. Other highlights included the inaugural Big Tuesday service in February, a Ladies Empowerment Seminar in September attended by 58 ladies, and regional prayer retreats emphasizing deliverance and well-being. The province also hosted its first annual Christmas Ball in November, a joyful celebration attended by 80 ladies, including pastors and the overseer. Each region contributed to the province’s growth through consistent prayer sessions, gatherings, and events such as a High Tea Extravaganza in Wolverhampton and a retreat in Wales. The year saw significant spiritual impact, recognition of outgoing board members for their contributions, and the appointment of a new board led by Elder Dadi Mutama. With breakthroughs in faith, unity, and spiritual growth, 2024 laid a strong foundation for continued success in 2025.
Conclusion
These three areas of growth feed into each other. When members feel spiritually fulfilled, they’re more likely to stay and invite others, boosting numbers. A growing membership brings in more energy and resources, which supports even more programs and activities. Financial stability, in turn, makes it possible to provide quality initiatives that keep members engaged and growing. It’s a cycle of progress that keeps building momentum in our province.

NORTH WEST PROVINCE
Introduction
We thank the God of our father Archbishop Ezekiel H. Guti for His continued grace, as we moved from strength to strength in this year of practicing to be true disciples. We laid a strong foundation for the year through the ten days of prayer and fasting, and continued with assembly services physically and virtually. Church attendance continued to rise as the year progressed, with several families relocating from Zimbabwe and new converts joining. We give glory to the God of our father for the growth being witnessed and continue to pray for more souls as we move the vision forward.
We held successful Provincial Big Sundays, weeks of prayer and fasting with deliverance from the power of darkness and healing from various ailments. Several testimonies of the faithfulness of God have been shared throughout the year. Both Go Quickly and Men of Integrity attended prayer retreats in Wales where people were spiritually revived and uplifted. Some deliverance sessions were conducted during Easter Conference and our 64th Church Anniversary celebrated at regional level. We saw the hand of God during the June prayer conventions, where guest speakers held oneto-one deliverance sessions.
The province was blessed through an empowerment weekend (29th November to 1st December) through the DSG, Apostle Dr Steve Simukai. He was mightily used to train leaders in seminars, empowering the church and every ministry through the Word of God. NWP will never be the same again after this.
HOME TALENTS
Several families were encouraged to work talents for their homes with emphasis on starting
- businesses to leave an inheritance for their children. Weekly services were held online with
local, national, and international guest speakers.
MISSIONS
-
The province joined forces with the nation in June and July, advancing the work of Missions
-
and spreading the gospel to all nations. Over weekly national services, the province conducted its own virtual services to encourage contributions from the community, featuring gifted speakers from across the nation. Several Big Days were organized to encourage active
-
engagement in the four pillars of missions and celebrate generosity. The God of our father
blessed our efforts, and we give Him all the glory.
MINISTRIES
Child Evangelism and Young Generation: The children have their own Saturday
services at the provincial level to be taught the Word of God and learn to be MCs and
forerunners. They have interactive Bible quizzes, games, and sometimes practice KMD.

PROVINCIAL SPECIAL
OCCASIONS
• Archbishop Matheus & Dr. Petronela Simao’s Visit (August) Their visit brought a deeper understanding of God’s faithfulness in the FIFMI ministry. Archbishop shared his powerful testimony of how God called him into ministry, which inspired many and assured us that the God of Ezekiel does not fail.
• Apostolic Empowerment Visit (November)
The visit of the Deputy Secretary General, Apostle Dr. Steve Simukai, was a huge success. With full house attendances from Friday to Sunday, the seminar empowered, encouraged, and grounded leaders in the work of grace. One of the key lessons from Apostle Simukai was, “Time consciousness reflects the type of leader you are.”
PROVINCIAL PROGRESS
Settling in the UK
Recognizing the challenges of settling in the UK, the province organized a 4-part series program, inviting experts from various fields like driving, social work, teaching, and policing. This program attracted both members and non-members, including people from outside our province. The success led to the creation of a specialized program for the Young Generation.
• New Assemblies
Scarborough, Durham, Middlesborough, and Carlisle Assemblies are now fully functional, with leadership structures in place. By God’s grace, Leeds North and Sheffield South Assemblies will soon be added.

We continue to see our children involved in various ministry activities, from leading Bible studies to performing at church events. Our children have attended National Young Generation Conferences, fun days, fellowship gatherings, and talent shows. The weekly online services during summer holidays were a great success, with discussions on issues like bullying, social media, dressing, and settling in the UK. We believe that training up children in the way they should go will not only benefit them now but will also establish their future in Christ.

NATIONAL FINANCE REPORT
Financial Overview
The year 2024 has been a fruitful year in the UK. We are pleased to report good tithe expenditure control. This resulted in each province reporting a surplus at the end of Sep 2024 as evidence that FIFCII(UK) is a going concern. The charts below illustrate the variation in provincial contributions made by each province towards the national tithe income and expenditure between Jan 2023 and Sep 2024.
Board Composition
Following the resignation of Elders Gwen Kanyangu and Martin Mangaba from the National Finance Board, the Board reorganised to the structure below:
Tithing
All provinces reported a cumulative surplus at the end of month 9. We are looking forward to a strong closing position at the end of the financial year if current trends continue as expected.
External Audits
We are continuing to comply with the laws of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We are also pleased to report that our books of accounts were audited on time and will follow the recommendations from our auditors.
Provincial Finance Seminars
The UK national finance committee delivered scheduled training sessions to provincial committees across the nation and facilitated elections in with the Forward in Faith Guidance, Rules, and Policy and the Finance Policy, Rules, and Guidelines.
We had the honour to meet with the Deputy Secretary General of FIFMI, Apostle Dr Steve Simukai on the 23rd November 2024 in Rotherham, Yorkshire. This was an opportunity for impartation of wisdom, strategic direction and burden for the work of God. We look forward to a prosperous 2025.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

Page 1
FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, E Dessai & Co Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 3
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transaction outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
-
Reviewing minute of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more the compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves international concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Page 1
FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
AUDITORS
The auditors, E Dessai & Co Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on ............................................. and signed on the board's behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 3
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transaction outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
-
Reviewing minute of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more the compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves international concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Musical Instrument - 25% on reducing balance Furniture & Fittings - 25% on reducing balance Office equipment - 25% on reducing balance

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
