Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed.
Prepare financial statements on an ongoing basis.

They are responsible for keeping proper records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the finances of the church at any time and to ensure that such accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011.They also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the church and to take reasonable steps to detect fraud or other irregularities.

This report of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2024 relates to the Receipts and Payment Account.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner

The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act)
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act); and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner’s statement

My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity. It included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanation from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the Trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
proper accounts records are kept in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the account requirements of the Act; or
to which in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
