## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Saving Grace Worship Centre** 

AOA Accounting Services Ltd report on the accounts of Saving Grace Worship Centre for the financial year ended **2024/25** , which have been prepared on the **Receipts and Payments / Accruals** basis. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the **Charities Act 2011** . The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act, and that an independent examination is needed. 

As an independent examiner, it is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts in accordance with **section 145 of the Charities Act 2011** 

- Follow the procedures set out in the **Charity Commission guidance CC32** . 

- State whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** 

I have examined the accounting records kept by the charity and compared the accounts presented with those records. I have also considered any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and sought explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. My examination was **limited to the procedures required under the Charities Act 2011** and did not include a full audit. 

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

Based on my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. The accounts have not been properly prepared in accordance with **section 130 of the Charities Act 2011** ; 

2. The accounts do not agree with the underlying accounting records. 

3. The charity has not fulfilled its responsibilities under the Act regarding the maintenance of adequate accounting records. 

During the financial year, total donations received amounted to **£44,806,** with an additional **£7,595** in **other income** , compared to **£33,828** in the previous year. This increase was primarily due to a one-off donation of **£18,000** and **£6,500** in **building fund** received during the year. 

Expenditure on charitable activities totalled **£10,278** , down from **£22,191** in the previous year, reflecting the charity’s ongoing commitment to delivering its objectives.
