The main Activities and Achievements

Financial Review

The accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis and in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards, Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting Reporting by charities (SORP 2005) and applicable accounting standards and the charities Acts 1993.

Financial performance:

Coventry Christian Fellowship Church has performed reasonably well in trying to meet its goals in terms of financial status. Though there are still so many challenges due to lack of finances. We have been able to continue with worship seminar, Christmas services and attend workshops and seminars both based on good corporate governance and fundraising strategies and secular settings. The support from church members has been a source of revenue that has enabled the organization to function so far.

Reserve Policy

The trustees' policy is to create and keep a reserve that can cover at least three months of our normal operating costs. The trustees now ensure that any remaining funds are held in the charity account to build up our future reserve in accordance with the charity objectives.

Risk Management

First a special meeting called to discuss any special project. Committee members made aware of any risks involved. Once the Funding secured only then project will be approved.

Independent Examiner’s Report

For the Year Ended 31st March 2024

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Board of Trustees of Coventry Christian Fellowship Church.

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Act 2005. The charity’s trustees consider that the audit requirement does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 449(1) (c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 seeks 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

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: -

  2. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations, and

  3. To prepare Accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations

Have been met

Coventry Christian Fellowship Church

  1. In my opinion, the charity trustees of The Prosperity’s Church of Jesus Christ have to continue maintaining and giving easy access to all accounting documents and records, complying with Regulations 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended).
