STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the report of the trustees and 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 applications 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
-
➢ 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 discloses 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.
The appended financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis and have been examined by an independent examiner, whose report is also appended.

NEW COVENANT CHURCH CHESHUNT
Independent Examiners’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which is set out on pages 11 to 15
Respective responsibilities of 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 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities 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 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 Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
-
requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
