## **Independent Examiner’s Report To the Trustees of ARMOR OF GOD APOSTOLIC CHURCH**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024, which are set out in the attachment.
## **Respective responsibilities of the 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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is what is needed.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 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 statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
