BEAUTIFUL CHURCH LONDON INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF BEAUTIFUL CHURCH LONDON
I report on the accounts of BEAUTIFUL CHURCH LONDON for the year ended 30 April 2023 which are set out on pages 4 to 9.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Society's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Society's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
(i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
-
(ii) 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
-
(iii) to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
Our 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 it seeks 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 connection with my examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
which give me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
(ii) 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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receiveable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Charitable Activities
Incoming resources from charitable activities are accounted for in the period when the production takes place. Income is deferred when admission fees are received in advance of the performances to which they relate.
(c) Expenditure and liabilities
Expenditure is recognised on the accurals basis. The charity is not registered for VAT, thus all costs are shown inclusive of VAT charged.
