Independent Examiner's Report

For the year ended 31 March 2025

Independent examiners's report to the trustees of THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD LOVE ASSEMBLY DERBY

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which is set out on pages 9 to 16.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND THE EXAMINER

The charity's trustees who are also directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the

accounts accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). The charity's

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 needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

BASIS OF EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 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 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 I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.

EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and

· accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of Act; or

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