GIL4CE EVANGELICAL CItURCH
We report on the accounts of the Grace Evangelical Church (Charity No. 230336) foT th¢ year
ended 31° December 20?3 which are set out on pages I to 4.
Res
onsibilitles of trustees Vdnd examiner
The charity's trusfres are responsibl¢ for the preparntion of the accounts. The charity's trustees
consideT tbat an audit is not T¢quired for tlus y¢ar (under seetion 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the
Clwities Act) and dmt an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibilily to
(a)
(b)
examine the accounts ullder section 145 of the Charities Act.
to follow the procedures laid down in the General DI￿10nS given by the Ch￿lty
Commission {under se¢tion 145(5){b) of the Charities Act. and
to state whether parttcular mattets have come to my attention.
(c)
Basis of the ind¢
ndent examiner's re
My examination w&s carried out in accordance with the General Direellons give by the Charity
Commission. _An exaniination includes a reN'iew of the accounting records kept by the charity and
a comparison ot the accounts presented wiib those records. It also includes consideration of 8ny
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeKÉng explanations from the trustees concerning
any sucb matters. The procedures undertaken do not proNTrde all the evidence that wDuld be
required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given &8 to whether the accounts present a 'true
and fair. view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement IKIOW.
Inde
dent examiDer's s
temen
In connection with my exarninatioo no matters have come to my attention which give me Cau￿ to
believe that kn. anv material respect:
the 2ecounting records were not kept in a¢wrd8nce with section 130 of the Cl]aTities Act. or
the accounts did not accord th¢ accounting records: OT
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requiretn¢nts concerning the forni and
content of a¢counts sei OUL in th¢ Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other
than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true aj￿ fair, view whiLb is not a ll￿tter
constdered as part of an independent cxamination.
I have come acTOSS no other rnatteTS in co]meL'Lion with the cxamination to which attention should
drnwn in this [C￿rt in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
