## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD RIVERS OF JOY DAGENHAM**
We report on the accounts of the Redeemed Christian Church of God ("RCCG") - Rivers of Joy Dagenham for the year ended 30th April 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligilbe for independent examination, It is my responsibility to:
- examine the account under (section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to following the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 the 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 thereport is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
- **-** and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommemded Practice: Accounting and Repoting by Charities
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
