## **Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and 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 charity and of the net income or expenditure of the charity
for the year. In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity 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 accrual’s basis and have been examined by an independent examiner, whose report is also appended.
This report was approved by the Board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
**Report to the trustees/members of:** RCCG Divine Throne, Middlesbrough
## **On accounts for the year ended:**
21[st] October 2025, set out on pages 8 - 14
**Charity Number:** 1206583
## **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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity commission (under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiner’s Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 include consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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:
1. The accounts are not properly prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011; or
2. The accounts do not accord with the accounting records kept by the charity; or
3. The accounts fail to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
I have no concerns and have not found any matters to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.

All incoming resources are accounted for when the Charity is legally entitled to the funds and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
## **(d) Resources Expended**
