Several testimonies of the faithfulness of God have been shared throughout the year.

The province was blessed through an empowerment weekend (29th November to 1st December) through the DSG, Apostle Dr Steve Simukai.

## YORKSHIRE PROVINCE 

## INTRODUCTION 

The province remains focused on the spiritual growth of leaders and believers, emphasizing the importance of maturity in Christ. Deliverance continues to be a major focus across our regions, with ongoing teachings and practical sessions on healing and deliverance. 

Various services centered on healing and deliverance are being conducted throughout the province, resulting in remarkable testimonies of transformation, healing and breakthrough. 

Bible study teachers are continually encouraged to use our father’s books and teachings on deliverance and how to maintain it, ensuring sound doctrine and consistency in ministry. These efforts have strengthened believers’ understanding of spiritual warfare and empowered them to walk in lasting freedom, while enjoying the Kingdom of God. 

The province continues to prioritize leadership development as a key pillar for sustainable growth and excellence. We remain committed to building strong, effective and spiritually mature leaders who can serve with excellence and integrity. Leadership development seminars were held at both regional and provincial levels, which were highly impactful, providing spiritual empowerment and practical leadership training by the Bishop Dr M Kasese and the National Administrator, Apostle O Zezani. They strengthened teamwork, clarified ministry responsibilities, reinforced the vision and structure of the church. 

Water baptism sessions were conducted successfully as part of the church’s commitment to discipleship and spiritual growth. We rejoice in the continued fruit of evangelism, for the 27 baptised in the year who will be included in the discipleship sessions being implemented to ensure they are nurtured and grounded in the Word and fully integrated into the life of the church. Encouraging renovation works continue at the Provincial Centre, with proposals expressed through Provincial Council to work talents in 2026. 

## MINISTRY ACTIVITIES 

## **Child Evangelism & Young Generation** 

The departments remain among the most active and vibrant ministries and continue to display remarkable commitment through their dedicated teams of teachers and leaders who invest in nurturing the spiritual growth of children and young believers. They continue to demonstrate exceptional growth and enthusiasm through consistent engagement of teachers and children in prayer, fellowship and national activities. This has greatly contributed to the province’s vision of raising Spiritfilled, Word-grounded and Christ-centered children who will carry the Gospel legacy into the future. 

## FINANCE 

Beyond the remarkable increase in tithing, in both figures and the number of tithers, the province continues to pray and encourage one another in the Word of God towards 100% participation. 

Through its Provincial Council, the province agreed to embark on exercising the Guidance, Rules and Policy of the church: - 

·       An Elder or Deacon who stops giving Tithes must step down from Leadership 

·       Elders shall be re-elected after every three years if they still meet the standard as set in Article 8 of the Policy document 

**Youth & Young Adults** The ministry continues to grow in strength and spiritual depth as a vibrant arm of the province, shaping the next generation of leaders and believers. The year was marked by impactful gatherings, empowering teachings, fellowship and discipleship that strengthen the faith of young people, to grow their spiritual maturity and commitment to God’s Kingdom work. 

**Go Quickly & Tell** This essential pillar continues to grow in strength and impact, fostering prayer, unity and empowerment among women. Through regular prayer meetings, impactful teaching sessions and community-focused initiatives, the ministry continues to build spiritually strong and health-conscious women who are ready to serve God and their communities with purpose. 

**Men of Integrity** This ministry is a vital part of the church’s structure, which continues to make steady progress in providing a platform for men to grow spiritually, fellowship together and take active roles in the life of the church. There is renewed focus to empower them to lead in their homes and communities with integrity and godly character using our father’s books. 

**Families Builder Ministry (FAMB)** This ministry plays a vital role in strengthening families and promoting unity within the body of Christ and has clearly become an essential part of the provincial calendar. Several successful conferences were held at regional level, which will continue and focus on family restoration, marriage enrichment and community building, to ensure the family unit remains strong and godly as a foundation of a God-fearing church

**Continuing to practice to be true disciples who have understanding and are rooted and grounded in our Church Bible Doctrine in unity, love, prayer and the fear of God. MAT 13:19 | EPH 3:17 | COL 2:7 | PHIL 4:9 | PROV 1:7** 



## **CHILD EVANGELISM MINISTRY** 

## **National Overview** 

2025 was a year of continuing with the legacy from our founding father, with significant breakthroughs experienced despite some challenges. Our focus for the year was on empowerment of parents, children, leaders and teachers, which greatly benefited from the visit of the International Child Evangelism Director, Pastors Petros & Regina Dope in September. They brought intense teachings through virtual and physical sessions, which played a pivotal role in shaping the future of CE ministry in the UK. The Director also addressed the National Board, where structural and management issues were discussed. 

## National, Zonal, Provincial & Local Highlights 

The ministry continues to have CE-led Sunday services, organized local day trips and KMD Music and dance participation in services led by Elder Orbert Mazivisa.  However, CE and YG ministry participation is not consistent throughout the nation due to various limitations. 

**Key Events:** In September 2025, Pastors Petros & Regina Dope, the CE International Directors, visited all three UK zones, Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone delivering transformative teachings and engaging sessions that impacted children, parents, teachers and church leaders. 

   - Monday Prayer: Emphasis on parental intercession, inspired by Hannah’s story (1 Samuel). CE Teachers’ Sessions: Training on biblical foundations, teaching methods, and ministry challenges. Parents’ Session: Based on Deuteronomy 6 & 11, highlighting parents as spiritual guides during early childhood. 

   - Church Leadership Session: Genesis 18:18–19 underscored strategic leadership and support for CE ministry. 

   - Children’s Session: Jeremiah 1:4–5 and John 10:10 taught children about divine purpose and resisting negative influences. 

   - Combined Parents & Children Session: “Gadgets and Our Children” (Ephesians 6:11–13) offered balanced tech guidance and fostered open dialogue. 

- Big Sunday Family Service: Themed “The Family” (Malachi 4:5–6), focused on unity, spiritual restoration and the importance of a strong family for the future of the church. 

The 2025 empowerment process was through interactive sessions and strategic leadership engagement. Highlights included the Zone 3 Young Generation Conference, which empowered 105 children and 19 adults under the theme “Have Values – Live with Purpose” (Daniel 1:8), resulting in spiritual breakthroughs such as healing, deliverance and Holy Spirit baptism. Impactful Q&A sessions addressed real-life issues like faith, identity, mental health and technology, while the International Director clarified Sunday School and KMD structures, leadership roles and age-specific segmentation. 

**Most importantly throughout these sessions, children received Jesus Christ and many rededicated their life to Jesus.** 

Page 16 



## **Report Summary and Future Plans** 

- Though the issues and questions raised across the zones were different, a level of maturity and commitment to growth was reflected. Looking ahead, the ministry is focused on: - 

   - Strengthening leadership and teacher capacity across all zones. Increasing parental involvement and support. 

   - Addressing logistical and financial challenges. 

   - Promoting deeper spiritual engagement among children. Planning for end-of-year and Christmas events to continue momentum. 

   - Create structured environments that prioritise CE within the broader church calendar. 

The 2025 activities summary reflects the children’s continued participation in local church programs, though levels will vary from one assembly to another.  While many assemblies have embraced CE, challenges such as inadequate venue facilities, imbalanced student-to-teacher ratios, and scheduling conflicts with other church programs have affected effectiveness. These logistical issues often result in reduced time for children’s ministry activities and hinder the ability to provide ageappropriate spiritual engagement. Despite these obstacles, the commitment to nurturing children’s spiritual growth remained strong by God’s grace. 

## **Closing remarks** 

We thank God for all who have faithfully availed themselves for the work of God in this exciting growing ministry. We are grateful to God for giving us international & local speakers, Pastors, parents and guardians who support, guide and pray for us.

Each Provincial Chairlady also serves as a member in the National Steering Board, which is made up of National Girls Director, National Girls Pastor, National Girls Advisor, the Co-ordination Chair and her team. 

## Year in Review 

## **Prayer** 

The ministry started 2025 with great anticipation and purpose, with a powerful and transformative 31 days of consistent prayer and fasting, into a season committed to deepening our relationship with God. The theme was #PushingPrayer2025, through sessions that were a collective journey of lifting each other up and a rallying cry to see God move in profound ways within our ministry and beyond. It was inspiring to witness numbers steadily growing, as evidence of the desire for spiritual growth. Hearts were being transformed, lives being touched and a hunger for God’s presence growing.  Several powerful and anointed speakers ministered throughout the year, with messages of hope and strength that fuelled our passion to keep pressing forward in faith. Their encouragement helped us stay focused on the vision of our ministry and burden for: 

- both the Girls Ministry and the Mature Girls Fellowship, to be filled with a deep and compelling passion to preach the Word of God boldly which is the love of Christ. 

- the ministry to be empowered by the Holy Spirit and rise as witnesses of God’s truth, as vessels of hope and light in a world that is desperately in need. 

- the spirit of self-control to be cultivated in every girl, to grow in how to exercise restraint, patience and wisdom in daily life, being fully aligned with God’s will, reflecting His character and purpose. 

## **Conclusion** 

The year ended on a high note, with an end of year national virtual service and awards night on 10thDecember, well attended with over 100 gadgets logged in. We celebrated the showers of blessings and gave our gift of love to Ezekiel Guti Junior Legacy School of Special needs, to stand with our Presiding Bishop and our Mum, knowing the many needs the school has. 

New members from abroad are expanding the ministry rapidly, integrating into our community and actively participating in various activities. We close out 2025, a year of growth and success, eagerly anticipating the new heights that God has in store for 2026. 

As we move forward, we are committed to giving back to the ministry that has blessed us so much, through the lessons and bonds we have built.

·       Provinces held different activities during the year, to encourage the ladies. These included all night prayers, social vacations to Morrocco and Turkey, and Big Sundays like one called “Bachelorette” which attracted and helped many from the Silver category in West Midlands. 

- The nation participated in the March international prayer and fasting program, praying for our children and the work of God. 

·       The virtual Leadership Training Seminar was held in March and graced by powerful speakers, including Overseer S Mbizvo, Pastor Carol Guti and Dr D Simango our National Umbrella. The teachings were profound and those who attended were greatly empowered and equipped. 

·       Our very successful National Prayer Retreat was held in August in Leicester, with Pastor Angelista Mandonga and Pastor Florence Simango as our main speaker. Her teachings on prayer were phenomenal. 

·       Many ladies managed to login onto the online 40th Anniversary Celebrations held in September in Zimbabwe with a few attending physically. It was indeed a unique celebration, where the teachings and testimonies propelled the ministry to another level. 

- The Silver Ladies were highly favoured to have a very successful virtual fellowship with Pastor Alice Nyamurowa in November. 

## Prayer Requests 

## NATIONAL CONFERENCE AND THANKSGIVING BIG SUNDAY 

- All the single ladies to love their Ministry and participate fully. All the children to be protected and to love their Church. 

The Single Ladies wrapped up the year with this very powerful and unique gathering in Birmingham in November. The atmosphere was joyous and celebratory. The lineup of speakers was awesome, with "Back to Basics" teachings from Pastor Alice Nyamurowa, focusing on the identity of a prayerful Single Lady; Apostle Osca & Overseer Cecilia Zezani passionately spoke about Legacy and God's rewards for those who seek Him; Pastor Angelista Mandonga led a powerful Holy Spirit Session and Umbrella Elder Gwinyai Masaka encouraged us on the power of seeking forgiveness. 

All provinces to have effective Umbrellas who are beneficial to the Ministry 

## CONCLUSION 

- We thank God for our National Executive of Bishops, Administrators and Apostles for all the support and prayers. We appreciate the Overseers, Pastorate and all our Umbrellas for the unwavering support. 

The highlight…a thrilling dress competition which crowned Miss UK 2026 along with two Princesses, each receiving cash tokens. We are excited about this revival Spirit which will ignite the ministry to take on 2026, empowered to spread the vision to other single ladies. 

- We acknowledge and thank God for our ministry Pastor, Pastor Angelista Mandonga and National Board led by Elder Sandra Mangwende for the hard work and commitment to the ministry. 

All glory to the God of Ezekiel for the monies that were raised towards Acts of Grace. Who can do such works without the God of our father Ezekiel. 

- 2025 was a great year and we look forward to even a better 2026.

## **UNITED KINGDOM MULTINATION FOR CHRIST COLLEGE (UKMFCC)** 

## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

## **INTRODUCTION** 

**T** he School Director, School Council, teachers and students continue to thank God for the legacy left by our Father, the late Apostle and Servant of God, Professor EH Guti. 

We are delighted to report that by God’s grace we are practising what we learned and received and heard and saw in our father, through this report as testimony to this statement. 

## Highlights 

## **2025/27 Class Launch:15/03/2025** 

   - th 

- This year our school launch on the 15 March 2025. We saw many students enrolled to the school with a total of 145 students of those remains 128 active students. Currently we have open application for 2026/28 and already we are witnessing increased number of applicants – current responses of 74 applicants. On the day of launch, we deliver tasters on Bible Synthesis and Deliverance. 

## **School Intranet Site** 

- We are currently in the process of revamping the school site to make it more user friendly and to bring it in line with new developments, which has taken longer than expected due to some unforeseen circumstances. We are very hopeful that this will be up and running before year end. 

- Let it be emphasised that this is a learning tool only, whose access is given by a school administrator and is secure, posing no threat to anyone 

## Classes 

The school uses the Zoom App for conducting all the lessons. There are 2 classes running at any one time during the year. Year 1 and Year 2. 

Students and teachers are sent the annual school calendar in advance showing when classes will be held during the year. The lessons run from 10:00am – 14:30pm on a Saturday. We have noted an uptake in enrolment and consistency in attendance with the online classes. Physical lessons presented us with a few challenges of teacher availability, travel, venue, student availability, uniformity and effectiveness of delivery of lectures. 

Teachers are expected to do PowerPoint presentations and to give assignments for students to do further research. 

## CHALLENGES & PRAYER REQUESTS 

- Encourage more leaders, including deacons, to enroll before ordination. 

- Pray for more UK gWe would like to see more leaders coming to the school. We would like to see deacons attending school before being ordained to be elders. We are believing God for UK graduates that will go on to enrol for the fulltime ministry. raduates to enter full-time ministry, especially from the Youth Ministry. 

## TEACHER TRAINING (13/12/25) 

- We held a successful teacher’s seminar online, with attendance of 20 delegates including members of the school council and teachers. 

- Our guest speaker was South Africa, AMFCC National Part-time bible school Coordinator, Overseer Dr E Chizeya. 

- He provided an overview of AMFIC's history and mission, emphasizing the main purpose of the school; to equip the believer to take the gospel further as to the great commission (Mathew 28 vs 19-20). The programme is designed to take a transformative approach which will transform the life of individuals as they learn rather than academic, hence challenging lecturers to assess their teaching effectiveness. He concluded on the role and responsibilities of lecturers in theological education, highlighting the importance of specializing in subjects, conducting research, and balancing academic teachings with practical church teachings. 

Indeed, it was a life transforming seminar, and we hope to conduct more physical seminars in near future. 

## FUTURE PLANS: 

- **Research into operational viability of physical** 

- **classes.** 

- **Completion of school intranet -       Continuous development of proper school faculties.** 

- **We desire to see the school becoming more integrated in the ministry by offering training services for provinces, regions and assemblies.** 

## **CONCLUSION** 

We would like to thank God for the establishment of the school in our Nation. We are continuing to see growth in the number and quality of students who are coming out of the school. We thank God that some are progressing into full time ministry. This we find to be very encouraging. We also want to thank God for our UK Board of Bishops, Apostles, Administrator, Overseers, pastors, elders and deacons for the tremendous support they give to the school.

## NATIONAL FINANCE REPORT 

## Financial Overview 

The year 2025 has been a prosperous year for us in the UK and Republic of Ireland. We are pleased to report an average growth in tithe income of circa 13% year-on-year between 2024 and 2025. Please see below, Figure 1, showing a consolidated analysis of the Tithe income and expenditure for the 21 consecutive months between January 2024 and September 2025. 

**Figure 1 – Consolidated tithe income and expenditure (UK & Republic of Ireland) Jan 24 – Sep 25** 

The charts in Fig 2 below illustrate the variation in contributions made by each province towards the national tithe income and expenditure between Jan 2024 and Sep 2024: 

Page 28 



## **Figure 2 – Variation across the 9 provinces (UK & Republic of Ireland) Jan 24 – Sep 25.** 

Each of the nine provinces in UK and Republic of Ireland reported a surplus at the end of September 2025 to evidence that FIFCII(UK) is in a resilient financial position to sustain its operations for the foreseeable future. We are looking forward to ending this financial year positively if current trends continue. As a nation, we continue to provide financial support to ZEGU and Mbuya Dorcas Hospital. 

We thank the God of Ezekiel for the guidance, leadership and prayers of our mum, Senior Archbishop Professor Eunor Guti, our father, the Presiding Bishop Dr Joseph Joe Guti, the two Apostles, SG M. Nyambo and DSG Dr. S. Simukai. We delivered a finance symposium in the Schengen region where the following nations were represented: Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Sweden, France, Slovakia, Belgium, Italy, Romania and The Czech Republic. Back in the UK, we held a provincial finance chairpersons’ colloquium focussed on collaborative dialogue that was attended by finance leaders from all the nine provinces in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

## 2. External Audits 

**We are continuing to comply with the laws of the UK and Republic of Ireland. We are also pleased to report that our books of accounts were audited on time. We are working very closely with our external auditors and are following their recommendations and advice.** 

## 3. Cashless Collection 

**We are all now living in a predominantly cashless society and as a charity, we acknowledge that we need to adapt so we don’t get left behind. Believers tend to give more when they donate with their card so adopting cashless technology is an innovation that promised to maximise our fundraising income. As a result, in 2025, we acquired at least one device for each of the assemblies in UK and Northern Ireland (the Republic of Ireland was not included due to Brexit complications). Since then, we have seen a significant improvement in Freewill Offering, Missions, Talents and other collections for special projects. We would like to thank the Deputy Secretary General and the UK National Council for approving our investment in digital transformation. We look forward to a prosperous 2026.**

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**

Page 1 



## **FORWARD IN FAITH CHURCH INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATED** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **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 2025 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 2025 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.

## **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.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the Course of
the audi¢ we have not ideniified material misstatements in Ihe Repon of the Trusiees.
We have no(hing 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
cerLqin disclosures of trnstees, remuneration specified by law are not made; or
wc have not rcccivcd all the inforn]ation and cxplanaiions we Icquirc for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Stateinent of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the
charitable company for the purposes of. company lam.) are responsible for the preparation of the financial stateinents and
for bcingJ satisficd that they gFjN'C a trne and fair view, and for such internal control as the tmstees detcrn]ine is necessary
to enable the preparation of financial statements ihat are free from material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the I￿steeS are respoTtsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to
continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, mauers related to going concem and Using the going concern
basi5 of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, OT have
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective8 are to obtain rea%onable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a RetM)rt 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 alwa)'s detect a tnatcrial misstatctncnl when it exists. MisstatcincnL% can arise froin fraud or c￿or
and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregale, they could reasonably be expecled to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial Sthlements.
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.
- Perfom]ing 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 nornial course of
business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias-
- Rcvicwing minute of mccting% of thDsc charged with goveTnancc'
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and iesting to supporting documentation to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Because ol the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all ]￿egUlaritIeS, including those
leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the
more the ¢omplianc¢ with a law OT regulation is removed from the events and trJn¥actions refl¢ct¢d 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 concealinent, forgery, collusion,
OTni55ion or misrepresentation.
