The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principle in the Charity SORP
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner’s Report to Trustees of Living Word Ministry (Hull)
I report on the accounts for the period ended 30 June 2025 set out on pages four to eight
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 Act) and that an independent examination is required
It is my responsibility to
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 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 the independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes the review of the accounting records kept by the charity and 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 you as 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 statements below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(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 to comply with the accounting requirements of the 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.
