I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view; which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## JMC Accountancy SAB&T (UK) Limited t/a JMC Accountancy Suite C, 15 Buckwins Square, Burnt Mills Industrial Estate Basildon, Essex, SS13 1BJ 14th October 2024 2 of 5 ## Christ City Church Statement of Receipts & Expenses For the period ended 31st December 2023 |**Receipts**
