Page 3 of 11
Trustees continue to improve and ensure that the system of internal controls is adequate and cost effective. Through the risk management process established for the church, the trustees are satisfied that the major risks have been adequately mitigated where necessary.
It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
Due to the Current COVID 19 pandemic the Charity conducted the necessary risk assessments and followed National Guidelines. No face to face services were conducted, all services were conducted virtually during the reporting period.
Principal Activities and Key Achievements during the year
Youth Department
It has been a challenging year for the youth due to the COVID 19 pandemic.No face to face meetings were conducted for the Youth department due to the COVID 19 restrictions. The youth were involved in various online events on top of their own regular meetings. The most significant was the first ever virtual National Youth Conference that was held in August 2020. The Youth Business Entrepreneurship was another event that was empowering to the youth.
Ladies Union
For 2020-2021 was another challenging year for the Ladies at Vessels of Honour. Virtual meetings, prayer sessions and fellowshipping via zoom has sustained the Ladies Union. The frequency of prayer sessions and Intersession were reviewed to daily morning and evening prayers and this has provided a support system for the Ladies union given challenges associated with isolating and lack of face to face contact.
Men’s Fellowship
The Vessels of Honour men’s fellowship, the Courageous Men’s Fellowship, continued during the year despite challenges caused by the Covid 19 pandemic and the resultant national- lockdown.
Community Led Recovery Scheme Grant
The Charity was awarded a £10 000 grant, and this was used to support varies activities to support church members and the community at large. Various events that included Well Being and Mental Health Issues, Domestic Violence/Abuse, Business Entrepreneurship, Culture were all conducted virtually with a variety of speakers participating in the events.

Independent Examiner's Report
The Management and Board of Trustees of Apostolic Faith Mission Liverpool Assembly (Vessels of Honor Worship Centre) who are registered as a charity, appointed me to independently examine their trustees' report, financial reports and the accompanying notes.
Responsibilities of Management and Board of Trustees
-
To safeguard the Charity's assets and in particular to ensure that the Financial Reports are free from material misstatements due to fraud.
-
To keep adequate financial records and to ensure that the published reports are based on these records.
-
To ensure that the published reports are true and fair.
-
Consider their charity to qualify for an independent examination in terms of Part 8 and sections 145 and 152 of the Charities Act of 2011.
My Responsibility
To carry out procedures such as analytical reviews, comparing the published reports to the financial records kept by the charity and enquiring from those tasked with the governance of the charity any matters that need clarity.
I also considered the disclosures of material facts in the financial reports and the going concern of the charity.
The nature and extent of my examination did not provide appropriate and adequate audit evidence and therefore no audit opinion is provided in this report.
Independent Examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matters came to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and Regulations of the 2008 Accounts Regulations
-
the preparation of accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulations of the 2008 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or
-
to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2022
1. Accounting Policy
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are in accordance with trust law, applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”, issued in March 2005.
b) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
c) Incoming resources
Voluntary income, including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature, are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
d) Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Funding provided through contractual agreements and performance related grants are recognised as goods or services supplied.
Other grant payments costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating office property costs by floor areas, management and human resources costs by the number of staff, and finance and IT costs by work done.
e) Donated Goods and volunteer and other donated services.
Donated goods are recognised in different ways dependent on how they are used by the charity:
- (i) Those donated for resale produce income in the trading venture when they are disposed of. (ii) Those donated for onward transmission to beneficiaries (chiefly clothing, food and medical supplies) are included in the statement of financial activities as incoming resources and resources expended when they are distributed. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.
The charity has not received any goods for use by the charity itself. The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Where services are provided to the charity as a
Page 8 of 11
donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity.
f) Taxation
Irrecoverable VAT is not separately analysed and is charged to the statement of financial activities when the expenditure to which it relates is incurred and is allocated as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Tax recovered from voluntary income received under gift aid is recognised when the related income is receivable and is allocated to the income category to which the income relates.
g) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are stated at cost and depreciated over their useful economic lives at the following rates:
Fixture and fittings 4 years Equipment 4 years Computers 3- 4 years
Where the recoverable amount of a tangible asset is found to be below its net book value, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount and the loss on impairment is charged to the relevant expenditure category of the statement of financial activities.
Where an asset is not primarily used to generate income its impairment is assessed by reference to its service potential on its initial acquisition. The charity currently has no tangible fixed assets to which impairment provisions apply.
