Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Jesus Family Chapel International
I report on the accounts of Jesus Family Chapel International for the year ended 31 December 2025 .
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s trustees 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 and that an independent examination is appropriate.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the Directions given by the Charity Commission ; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Directions given by the Charity Commission . 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.
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 accounting requirements have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts.
