It is the objective of the charity to ensure unrectricted funds are kept at a level which provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs on an on-going basis.

Risk Management

The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks which the charity is exposed, in particular those to operations and finances of the charity. The Trustees review the risk regularly at their meetings and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the Charity's exposure to major risks.

Appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, supported by relevant training and regularly reviewed policies are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable groups within the Charity.

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of True Light Church of Jesus Christ International

I report on the accounts of the above Charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 set out on pages 5 to 7

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

The 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that 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 Direction given by the Charity commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 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 2011 Act; and

• To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or

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