## **ObjecOves and acOviOes** 

Our aims: The objects of the charity are set out in the charity's trust deed and are summarised as follows:- 

To advance the ChrisLan faith through preaching and teaching Biblical principles via any available medium, to promote ChrisLan educaLon and to alleviate the effects of poverty. Our objecLves: Our objecLves are set to reflect our community aims. Each year our trustees review our objecLves and acLviLes to ensure they conLnue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of educaLon for the public benefit. 

## **AcOviOes and achievements: How do our acOviOes deliver public beneft?** 

The charity carries out a wide range of acLviLes in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these acLviLes, summarised below, provide public benefits. 

- Church services 

- Evangelism 

- Support groups 

- Children’s ministry 

- Family support 

- Crisis counselling 

- Weddings and funerals 

- Conferences & faith-based events 

- Feeding the poor 

- Befriending service to senior ciLzens 

- Media outreach 

## **Coming out of lockdown:** 

Most of our efforts this year have been aimed at resuming in-person services post the li\ing of lockdown restricLons. This involved relocaLng the services to a new venue as the old one was no longer available for hire. It also meant implemenLng a number of covid safety measures, retraining staff and purchasing some new audio/visual equipment. Although we successfully resumed in person services in July 2021, we found that aaendance was approximately half of the pre-covid crowd. This was due to a number of factors including: 

- Bereavements 

- Families relocated to be near their loved ones or to take up work opportuniLes 

- Covid anxiety etc

## **Big wins** 

- The upside is that we conLnued our online services and programs. These meant that members stayed connected to and were serviced by the ministry, even if they did not aaend in person. 

- We now have a hybrid church model that involves both in-person services and online acLviLes. We now hope to establish new in-person branches and outreach centres, where we have significant online acLvity. 

- We were able to support senior ciLzens and vulnerable families with a befriending service and mobile food bank. 

- We were able to provide counselling, guidance and support for people struggling with the cost of living, anxiety, bereavement and loneliness 

- We were able to meet our objecLves by advancing the ChrisLan faith 

- We were able to retrain all volunteer workers through our school of ministry iniLaLve. 

## **Compliance and governance** 

Our execuLve team have exercised diligence and prudence in leadership, spending procedures, safeguarding and administraLon. We have taken into account the recommendaLons made by our independent accounts auditor and have reviewed several of our processes. ParLcularly those around departmental expenses to ensure that request forms are completed and receipts are kept. 

While we acknowledge that the execuLve team is stretched, its performance has been impressive parLcularly in the wake of the global pandemic.

**Settlement of insurance** Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria **claims** are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. **Investment gains and losses** This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 

## **2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES** 

**Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. **Governance  and support costs** Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of **Grants with performance conditions** service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to **Grants payable without** realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be **performance conditions** recognised. **Redundancy cost** The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. **Deferred income** No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade **Creditors** discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured **Provisions for liabilities** at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph **Basic financial instruments** 11.7 FRS102 SORP.  Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. **2.4 ASSETS Tangible fixed assets for** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least **use by charity** They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. **Intangible fixed assets** The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights.

Independent Examiners report for iCAN Community Church For the period April 1[st  ] 2021 to March 31[st] 2022 

Charity registration number: 1170112 

Prepared by Peter Slade ACMA CGMA Date Jan 2023 



Responsibilities and basis 

- As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Examiners Report 

## 1. Context 

- iCAN Community Church is a small Charity not part of a wider group with income in the period of £255,074 and Balance sheet Assets of £46,533, and therefore no requirement for a full audit 

- There is no requirement for an audit in the governing document. 

- The bookkeeping for iCAN is performed in Xero by an independent qualified bookkeeper (Mel Brandy MIAB of Docks Bookkeeping Services). 

- The review has been performed by Peter Slade ACMA CGMA a qualified accountant with no connection to ICAN or any of the trustees. 

## 2. Review findings 

- All the Bank accounts transactions are reconciled to the books of prime entry for the period covered and up to date 

- The Balance sheet and Income statement from Xero correctly represent the underlying accounting records 

- Based on sample checks of the invoices for a range of expense items it appears the classification is reasonable, accurate and consistent. 

- There are a number of cases of Invoices relating to expenditure are not held in Xero, when these missing invoices have been requested, they all have been provided. 

- Disclosures have been made in the Final accounts for related party transactions for 1 of the 5 trustees. These trustees have written agreements in place dated 17[th] December 2018. 

- The Charity Commission website correctly reflects the current trustees 

- The trustees conducted a review of the processes around expenditure in the year particularly regarding receipts and request forms 

## 3. Going Concern 

- The Trustees have agreed the Charity is a going concern in the Annual report although a cashflow forecast is not included. 

- The expenditure of the charity is high in relation to the income and a small deficit has been realised this year, however income remains stable in the year coming out of the impact of the of the global pandemic. 

- Based on the reserves in the bank account and the current profile of expenditure and income the charity remains a going concern but will need to exercise prudence of over expenditure  in the coming year to mitigate any impact on income from the current cost of living challenge. 



   - Significant expenditure of the Charites funds on a vehicle has impacted the finances in this year. Given the size of reserves and small deficit made this year the Trustees will have to carefully consider any large items of expenditure in the coming year. 

4. Matters of Concern 

   - As per the previous report a number of the supplier invoices continue to lack sufficient detail to explain the service being provided. The trustees should be challenging all suppliers to provide detailed descriptions of goods or services provided on all invoices received. 

## 5. Recommendations 

Payment to suppliers for services provided to the charity should be dependent of detailed documentary evidence of the service provided and a request for payment in the form of an invoice. Payments should not be made to suppliers without this having been received. 

- Regular checks throughout the financial year to ensure all receipts or invoices in respect of expenditure are received by the bookkeeper in a timely manner and recorded on Xero. 

- A Cashflow forecast or Budget should be prepared agreed by the trustees and reviewed at each formal meeting of the trustees. 

- Considering the small deficit this year expenditure should be tightly monitored and controlled to ensure that the charity does not continue making a loss. Considering the relatively small reserves and a cost-of-living challenge potentially impacting donations this is especially important.
