Review
The Directors have continued to keep and maintain an efficient and effective system to monitor and control the flow of funds within the company. The company’s account is examined by an Independent Examiner to ensure that financial transparency and accountability are evident in the organisation.
A portion of the company’s fund is used to run the day-to-day activity of the organisation, and this is reflected in the records (Bank Statements and Accounts)
The Organisation has got its own building in the UK-Southeast, London (South Norwood) Manchester and South Norwood. In addition, the Organisation also has various buildings in some countries outside the UK.
The Directors will continue to work hard to realise the vision of the company. A lot of progress has been made but there is still a lot to be done.
Some of the achievements are as follows:
-
Food bank going on in South Norwood branch (HQ) every fortnight.
-
Mission works going on Abuja and Malawi
Directors Responsibilities
The companies’ act 2006 requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for the year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in existence.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ACCOUNTANT
A resolution was proposed at the Annual General Meeting of the Directors that TL First Limited be re- appointed as the accountant to the company for the year.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued in March 2005) and in accordance with the special provisions of Part VII of the Companies Act 1985 relating to small entities.

ACCOUNTANTS’ AND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the World Harvest Christian Centre for the year ended 31 July 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Fellow of the Association (FCCA).
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
