Annual Review for Cardea Community Church, 2021-22 

Cardea Community Church continues to be an independent church charity which is self-governing and financing, aiming to provide a place of worship within the Cardea area of south Stanground, Peterborough. We are grateful to those attending, who, through their generous giving, enable us to meet all of our needs.  According to our mission statement on our website, we exist to make Jesus known in Cardea and beyond. 

To a certain extent – though obviously considerably less so than the previous year – we had a period of time when under certain Covid 19 restrictions. The church has been able to increase its payment of its pastor, Jonathan Wood. 

The church relies on a dedicated team of volunteers to achieve its aims and objectives of sharing our message with the community; this includes events such as our regular Carol Services at Christmas, co-ordinating litter-picks in the community etc.  A number of ladies within the church began a regular Parent and Toddler group for the community. This has proved to be very popular. All of our children’s workers have been DBS checked.

## **Independent examiner’s report on the accounts** 

Report to the Trustees of Cardea Community Church on accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- 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 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

My 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 seeking 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 Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention examiner’s statement 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Appendix 3** 

Financial records are recorded in an excel spreadsheet as a cashbook, recording every entry in and out individually. This in turn is allocated to each area of income and expenditure and reconciled. 

Gift aid declarations were not viewed this year, these must be retained and it is good practice to ensure that these are kept up to date with old or deceased donors records being stored separately and then destroyed after a period of time. 

Electronic records are kept for those payments made in respect of the charities activities, scanned copies of receipts and invoices have been provided. 

Again this year the Charity Commission template has been followed, the accounts include details of designated, restricted, unrestricted and endowment funds,  giving the opening balance, movement throughout the year and the closing balance. 

## **Appendix 4** 

The church meets in premises rented (they have recently moved to a local school as this allows them more space to meet) on a twice weekly basis (Sundays and mid-week prayer meetings, there is no ongoing commitment as the premises are rented on a week-to-week basis. 

This is around £65 per week, there are more than sufficient cash reserves available to meet that liability in the general fund. 

The church employs one pastor full-time, they have been blessed and have grown as a church, they have been able to give consideration to the commitment of his ongoing employment. The church has a reserves policy to maintain 3 months expenditure.
