## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF AMAZING LIFE CHURCH**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Amazing Life Church (the "Charity") for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement, and the related notes, including the accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (FRS 102), as issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
In our opinion:
- The financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended.
- The financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and the applicable accounting standards.
## **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 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC 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.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees for the Financial Statements**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (FRS 102), which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements**
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 an auditor's report 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Charity's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
## **Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- The information given in the Trustees' Annual Report is consistent with the financial statements.
- The Trustees' Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters which we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
- The Charity has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records.
- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.
- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Use of Our Report**
This report is made solely to the Charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with our engagement letter. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
