## **ICAN COMMUNITY CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT MARCH 2022 – APRIL 2023** 

## **Date: 19th January 2023** 

iCan Community Church A leader-led church 

The following is our report on March 2022- April 2023. 

## **iCAN COMMUNITY CHURCH** 

iCan Community Church is fundamentally a spiritual community whose objects are charitable. The ministry is operationally and spiritually led by an executive team, including our Presiding Bishop, a Senior Pastor, a team of executive administrators and a team of clergymen and women. As Trustees, our role and responsibilities are clear to us and in summary involve fund management, compliance, financial health and executive accountability. 

**Our current Trustee Board** comprises of the following members: 

## **• ISAAC NEWTON PATRICE CARTER (CHAIR)** 

- **ANTHONY NZEKWU** 

- **PHILLIP THOMAS** 

- **TIM McCLURE** 

## **• REUBEN PAUL ALEXANDER MALCOLM** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

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

To advance the Christian faith through preaching and teaching Biblical principles via any available medium, to promote Christian education and to alleviate the effects of poverty. Our objectives: Our objectives are set to reflect our community aims. Each year our trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue 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 education for the public benefit. 

## **Activities and achievements: How do our activities deliver public benefit?** 

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

- Church services 

- Evangelism 

- Support groups 

- Children’s ministry 

- Crisis counselling 

- Weddings and funerals 

- Conferences & faith-based events 

- Feeding the poor 

- Befriending service to senior citizens 

- Family Support 

## **Creation of Hubs:** 

Most of our efforts this year have been aimed at developing a decentralised system of Hubs whereby members of the congregation have been meeting in various local neighbourhoods for smaller services for 3 weeks per month and meeting together for one main service on the first Sunday of each month known as Ecclesia. 

The underlying purpose of the Hubs is to focus more on, and develop,  the evangelistic side of iCan Community Church. This is consistent with our mission oriented vision of reaching out and spreading the gospel to the wider community rather than staying  in location. The aim is to grow the organisation and double our membership. It also allows the church to be more socially active over a wider area. 

There has already been evidence of a growth in membership due to the above approach with Hubs being established in the following areas: 

## **North London,  South London, East London,  West London, Essex  and Ashford** 

The aim and ambition of the organisation is to continue to grow through strengthening our presence and outreach throughout Greater London and beyond. 

## **Big wins** 

- We are now actively establishing new in-person branches and outreach centres, 

- We continue  to support senior citizens and vulnerable families with a befriending 

- service and mobile food bank. 

- We continue  to provide counselling, guidance and support for people struggling 

- with the cost of living, anxiety, bereavement and loneliness

- We were able to meet our objectives by advancing the Christian faith 

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

initiative. 

* We have now started our own Antioch bible school to develop and increase more ministers and leaders 

## **Compliance and governance** 

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

We have taken the strategic step of appointing a  Chief Executive to be responsible for the day to day management of the organisation, which in turn allows our Bishop to focus on theological and spiritual matters. 

## **Financial Review** 

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period. 

The charity is in a reasonably healthy position and has no concerns about remaining as a going concern. 

The Charity's position at the end of the period of this report has stabilised over the last 12 months after having exited the COVID lockdown and now  returned to weekly services with regular income from tithes, offering, and gifts from its members and visitors. 

iCC holds reserves of approximately £24k in a reserve account at HSBC. These funds are held as a buffer against any possible downturn in the Church's income (such as the COVID epidemic)  and also as required  for further expansion if necessary..

Independent Examiners report for iCAN Community Church For the period April 1[st  ] 2022 to March 31[st] 2023 

Charity registration number: 1170112 

Prepared by Peter Slade ACMA CGMA Date Feb 2024 



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 £280,973 and Balance sheet Assets of £52,618 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 several 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 2 of the trustees. These trustees have written agreements in place dated 17[th] December 2018. 

- The Charity Commission website needs to be updated as one of the trustees resigned on the 24[th] May 2023 to take up a the role of CEO 

- The trustees conducted a review of the processes focusing on departmental expenditure 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 remains high in relation to income and a small surplus has been realised this year, however income has increased which has supported the expansion of activities the Charity has undertaken as outlined in the trustees report 

- The charity maintains a reserve of circa £24,000 in the bank given the current profile of expenditure and income the charity remains a going concern but will need to continue to be cautious in relation to expenditure in the coming year 



   - The significant expenditure in relation to a vehicle last year to support the rising number public engagements and events has been funded by a loan at a favourable interest rate and the benefit is being seen with the increase in activities undertaken. A further increase in revenue would be required to support any further borrowing. 

4. Recommendations 

There do remain a small number of invoices presented with insufficient detail and payment made without invoices or receipts attached. The trustees should continue to review the financial processes at regular intervals to ensure adequate documentation is captured for all expenditure 

- This internal review process should also ensure all receipts or invoices in respect of expenditure are received by the bookkeeper in a timely manner to be recorded on Xero. 

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

- With having made a small surplus this year expenditure should continue to be tightly monitored and controlled to ensure that the charity continues to make a surplus and ideally grows the reserve funds
