Trustees' responsibilities
The charity act 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 charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that year. In preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice were used;
-
prepare the financial statements based on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
-
presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Acts. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the Board of trustees on 14 April 2025 and signed on their behalf by
Adijat Adesanwo Trustee

Independent examiner's report to the trustees/ members of Restoration Outreach Christian Ministry for the year ended 31 May 2024
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustess are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the
Charities Act 2011 (the charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
-
(under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all
the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether
the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act; have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
