Trustees Report

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the accounting year ending on 31[st] December 2024. The trustees report that the financial year ending 31[st] December 2024 brought growth and expansion of our services to the community and members.

Principal activity:

The trust core principal’ activity is Christ Centered Church undertakings and secondly activities are services to humanity and general local community.

During the year prayers and teaching conferences were organised on a regular basis and attendance at these conferences was very good. We also provided training seminars for teachers and volunteers of our Sunday schools.

We are ever prepared to expand scope of consideration, offer training and education to volunteers where needed, however our objectives are constraint by financial resources available. We met all planned objectives and operations, especially maintaining and increasing our membership numbers.

Sources of Financing and allocation of funding

The level of the finances for the year ended 31[st] December 2024 was stable. The income level was not too different from projected income due to covid-19 pandemic and for this very reason we would like to express our sincere gratitude to World Light Chapel members for their generous donations and contributions, which have mainly been sole funding of our programmes.

Reverend Duke AgyemanBadu

the Trustees

Accountants' Independent Report

As Accountants we report on the unaudited accounts to the Trustees of World Light Chapel. It is our aim to state the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43 (7) (b) of the Act, whether matters have come to our attention.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on the balance sheet the Trustees of World Light Chapel are responsible for the preparation of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024, set out on pages below and the Trustees consider that the church is exempt from an audit requirement of section 43 (2) of the Charities Act1993 (the Act). In accordance with Trustees of World Light Chapel instructions, we have compiled these unaudited accounts to assist Trustees of World Light Chapel to fulfil its statutory responsibilities, from the accounting records, information and explanations made available to us including incomplete records leading to extensive reconciliations to derive prudent and reasonable amounts.

Basis of independent examiner's report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as trustees on any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by an audit, and consequently, we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In accordance with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

World Light Chapel Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Scope of Operation and Undertaken Activities

The Trustees report that the financial year ended 31 December 2024 continued to bring new challenges for the organisation.

In line with our Christian ethos, during the year, various teaching and prayer seminars were organised on regular basis. Again, the attendances to these activities have continued to increase especially in the areas of helping the youth to desist from joining ‘Gangs’ in favour of living a Christ centered life.

Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (Effective April 2008).

The financial statement reflects the requirements of the revised Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting for Charities' (SORP). The charity complied with best practice at the time of preparing these accounts.

All fixed Assets are capitalised after taking account of any grants receivable (if any), at the following annual rates to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. The charge for depreciation is calculated to write off the costs of fixed assets are capitalised over their usefulness on the following basis:

Expenditure

AII expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. Direct charitable expenditure relates to those incurred or grants payable, which directly relate to the furtherance of the charity's objects.

Management and administration costs include wages and related costs of central administration.

Valuation information and policy

Where applicable valuations would be undertaken as the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making do allowance for obsolete. Cost includes all direct expenditure and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
