The trustees confirm that they have had **due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit** before deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** The organisation held successful meetings through the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith. Outreach meetings were also conducted, giving individuals the opportunity to hear the Christian message. These efforts produced good results in reaching and helping members of the community. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The income of the charity for the year was above **£6,500** , which is a strong figure considering this was the charity's **first year of operation** , covering only **9 months** . Costs have been well managed. The main expenses included hall and office rentals as well as operational costs. ## **RESERVE POLICY** It is the policy of the charity to maintain **unrestricted funds** equivalent to **approximately three months** of expenditure, to cover unforeseen emergencies. The charity aims to maintain this reserve level throughout the year. ## **RISK MANAGEMENT** The charity has assessed all major operational and financial risks and is satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate them effectively. ## **TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES** Under the **Charities Act 2011** , trustees must prepare a Statement of Accounts that gives a true and fair view of the charity’s financial position. Trustees are responsible for: 1. Selecting suitable accounting policies and applying them consistently. 2. Making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 3.

They consider that an audit is not required under Section 144(2) of the **Charities Act 2011** , and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act. - Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b). - State whether any particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** My examination was conducted in accordance with the Charity Commission’s General Directions. An examination includes reviewing the accounting records and comparing the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures and seeking explanations from the trustees. The procedures undertaken do not constitute an audit and no audit opinion is given. ## **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: `o` Proper accounting records have not been kept, or `o` The accounts do not accord with those records; or 2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## **Signed:** **Manasseh George Abraham** Member of the Association of Independent Charity Examiners **MGA UNITED** 18, Daymerslea Ridge Leatherhead Surrey KT22 8TF ## **ONE IN JESUS MINISTRY** ## **1.
