STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES YEAR ENDED 30 June 2024
Charity 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 charity and of its financial activities for that year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2005)” and with applicable accounting standards, 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 assume the charity will continue operating.
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 Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE
YEAR ENDED 30 June 2024.
I report on the financial statements of the Church for the year ended 30 June 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the Church’s trustees you are responsible for the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Church and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with 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 41 of the Act, and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, have not been met, or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
