IGLESIA NI CRISTO (CHURCH OF CHRIST) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) embody its purposes as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The missions include: the advancement of religion, as well as the dissemination and propagation of the Christian faith and teachings as written in the Bible, the Holy Scriptures; establishment of local congregations, group worship services, and extensions within the United Kingdom that the dissemination and propagation of this religious faith may reach, subject to existing laws of England and Wales.
Associated with these objectives, the CIO aims to establish places for official use of its members in different congregations such as for regular worship services, in-house training seminars, counselling, and other charitable services for both members and non-members. As proof of this, in the year of 2021, one new local congregation was established, and the location is mentioned below including the date of its establishment:
Heathrow North 9 October 2021
The CIO is determined to continue establishing additional places and local congregations for official use of its members in the United Kingdom.
The CIO also holds various activities in the United Kingdom in order to enhance and strengthen the spiritual life of the Church members in general. These activities include: holding religious worship through worship services; prayer meetings, pastoral visitation of brethren; and propagation of the gospel through bible studies, evangelical missions and distribution of religious publications.
Additionally, the CIO recognises social and humanitarian concerns and demonstrates this through continuing activities in local communities within the United Kingdom and worldwide. The CIO is determined to engage more in charitable works, while expanding its mission to grow in number for the organisation.
The CIO has developed and adopted policies in the advancement of these objectives and has made no changes to these policies during the period. In the furtherance of the actions that have been carried out by the original Charity in converting to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and registering its operations and activities in England and Wales, the CIO Trustees have plans to continue work on completing the process in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Grants are made customarily to other Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) congregations worldwide after the Trustees' have assessed the project and ensured it complies with the constitution and the UK Charities Act of 2011.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Charitable activities
The Charity has successfully and significantly met its goals and objectives in expansion through propagation, acquisition of properties, and strengthening of morals and spiritual values of its members.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) members continued to conduct twice-weekly worship services online through video conferencing, and had the option to give their voluntary offerings through online banking during the lockdown. Therefore, the CIO also changed the manner in which the financial reports are prepared.
The CIO continued to renovate the property in Glasgow, Scotland, which was purchased on 25 April 2019, to be used by the respective congregation as a place of worship in the near future.
The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), with all modesty, contributes greatly to the moral and spiritual enrichment of its members to benefit their families and the local communities in which the members reside. This is due to the principles upheld in the Church, which promote a quality of life guiding people to be honest, law-abiding and God-fearing.
The leadership members in the Church continue to guide members of the Church to be considerate to the welfare of others in the spirit of love and compassion. This has been the hallmark of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) for more than a century of its existence in the Philippines, and almost half a century in the United Kingdom. One of the ways that the Church continues to contribute to the community is through various charitable activities called "INC Giving" activities. These types of activities are open to everyone in the local communities, whether or not they are members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ).
The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) engaged in more charitable activities, such as community service through clean-up drives to promote the importance of the environment and giving donations of food and clothes to local charities. This year's events include the following:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| INC Giving Winter Coat Donation (Manchester) | 30 January 2021 |
| INC Giving Book Donation (Manchester) | 30 January 2021 |
| INC Giving Frontliners Appreciation Day (Cambridge) | 10 April 2021 |
| IINC Giving Neighbourhood Appreciation Day (various locations in UK) | 1 August 2021 |
| Community Outreach Activity - Winter Clothing Drive (Birmingham) | 31 October 2021 |
| INC Giving Parents Appreciation Day (Birmingham) | 28 December 2021 |
The CIO also continued to hold a series of activities in order to edify members and to share the Christian faith and teachings upheld in the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ). Some activities were held online due to COVID-19 restrictions. This year's activities included:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Cooking and Baking Tutorials | 23 January 2021 |
| Arts and Crafts Activity - Online | 21 February 2021 |
| Professional Development Webinar | 14 March 2021 |
| Unity Games - Online | 16 May 2021 |
| Cooking Workshop - Online | 9 May 2021 |
| Children's Worship Service (CWS) Spelling Bee - Online | 5 June 2021 |
| Family Bonding Beach Trip | 8 August 2021 |
| Social Media Awareness Seminar - Online | 29 August 2021 |
| Children's Workship Service (CWS) Acting Workshop - Online | 4 September 2021 |
| How to Draw Workshop - Online | 23 October 2021 |
| Youth Team Building | 28 November 2021 |
| Keep Fit - Online | 18 December 2021 |
The CIO holds the above-mentioned activities to promote the enhancement of social and cultural values, by guiding its members to wholesome and enriching activities in sports, music and the arts. As well as the activities listed above, the Church also promoted leadership and skills enhancement activities through planning conferences and seminars, which were held in various locations in the United Kingdom when the possibility existed or online through video conferencing.
These are activities are held by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) to strengthen the faith of the members of the Church and to strengthen the bond between them in a fun and friendly environment. Non-Church members are also invited to these events, so that they can have more exposure to the Christian faith and teachings upheld in the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) through the love of the brotherhood.

IGLESIA NI CRISTO (CHURCH OF CHRIST) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The CIO also carries out outreach programs to assist people, regardless of their religious beliefs, who are suffering as a result of poverty, natural disasters and catastrophes. The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) embraces the teaching of the Bible to love our neighbors, countrymen and brethren. Therefore, the Charity has also been helping the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) Central Administration's program on International Care For Humanity (formerly, Aid to Humanity), which benefits many impoverished people in various parts of the world.
Financial review
Financial position
The Statement of Financial Activities show net income for the period of £1,971,287. The total reserves at the period end amounts to £22,448,371.
Financial Review
After reviewing the CIO's financial position at the end of the reporting period, the Trustees are satisfied with the financial position at the Balance Sheet date.
The policy of the CIO remains that unrestricted funds not designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees foresee that this level of reserved amounts will ensure that the CIO will be able to continue the current activities should there be a significant drop in funding. During this allotted time, the Trustees will then promote ways in which additional funds may be raised. The CIO has successfully maintained this goal of reserves throughout the year.
There are no uncertainties about the CIO's ability to continue. The Trustees also maintain that there are no funds that are materially in deficit.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Structure, Governance and Management
The CIO was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 8 July 2019, emanating from the transfer of its activities, assets and liabilities from Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ), an unincorporated Charity, previously operating under Charity Number 265828.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees appoints the Trustees when a vacancy arises. The newly appointed Trustees' induction includes the following: meeting the office staff; being briefed on procedures; updates being issued by concerned government agencies affecting their roles; and addressing any training needs they may have.
The Trustees manage the CIO together and ensure that the expenditure of all funds received are in accordance with the trust deed.
This CIO is part of a wider network, also called Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), an international Christian denomination religion originating in the Philippines and is currently located around the world.
The Trustees are responsible for the management of risks that the CIO would face. The Trustees have undertaken a full risk assessment of the organisation and have introduced various key controls. The Trustees also review these controls regularly. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the CIO is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
One of the key risks of the CIO is the risk of an event having a negative impact on its reputation. The Trustees are satisfied that a policy and a satisfactory action plan is in place to ensure that this risk is adequately mitigated.
Risk management
The CIO acknowledge that the Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which it is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud, error and other irregularities.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
The trustees (who are also the directors of Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company 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 charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF IGLESIA NI CRISTO (CHURCH OF CHRIST)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 6
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF IGLESIA NI CRISTO (CHURCH OF CHRIST)
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
| - | We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with management, and |
|---|---|
| from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector in which the company operates; | |
| - | We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and |
| determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework (Companies Act 2006) and | |
| the relevant tax compliance regulations in the jurisdictions in which the company operates. In addition, we | |
| concluded that there are certain significant laws and regulations that may have an effect on the determination of | |
| the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and those laws and regulations relating to health and | |
| safety, employee matters and bribery and corruption practices; | |
| - | We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries |
| of management and inspecting correspondence where available; and | |
| - | Identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert |
| to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. | |
| - | We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including |
| obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: | |
| - making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their |
|
| knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and | |
| - considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and |
|
| regulations. | |
| - | To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
|
| - tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
|
| - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were |
|
| indicative of potential bias; and | |
| - investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
|
| - | In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures |
| which included, but were not limited to: | |
| - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
|
| - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
|
| - enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
|
| - reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive, and |
|
| the company's legal advisors. |
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

IGLESIA NI CRISTO (CHURCH OF CHRIST) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Freehold property | - no depreciation policy |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - Straight line over 10 years |
| Motor vehicles | - Straight line over 5 years |
Depreciation is not provided in respect of freehold properties as the Trustees believe that the present market value is not less than the cost stated in the accounts. The Charity also follows a regular programme of maintaining the properties in a good state by way of incurring expenditure on repairs and maintenance.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Restricted funds
Building renovation and purchases
These restricted funds are received from other related charities and Donors. The funds are restricted to the purchase and renovation of properties, mainly to be used for worship services, training and seminars, counselling and other charitable activities for both members and non-members.
