The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deeds, Charities Act 1993 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued in March 2005.

Structure, governance and management

• Evangelist Jane Mahama

• Ms Alice Edeki

• Pastor David Folorunso

• Phyllis Dawn Smith

Trustees are familiar with the workings of the church having been drawn from long standing Church members that have the skill set to offer an empathy with the charity’s core values. New trustees are invited and encouraged to attend training courses by the Chair and also to read guidelines and publications issued by the charity Commission eg “the Essential Trustee” , copies of which are given to the new trustees

Objectives and activities

The object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian religion in accordance with the tenets and practice of the Christ Apostolic Church (Bethel) UK. Various policies were adopted during the year in furtherance of this object.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.

In preparing these accounts the Trustees are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,

• Observe the methods and the principles of the charities SORP,

• 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 accounts; and

• Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

Summation

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 accounts comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the trust deed.

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.

Financial Review

I report on the state of the finances of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out in the below.

It has been a really challenging year for the charity with income from our members been squeezed due to the pandemic period (the previous year), but we have been able to maintain our reasonable spending position.

It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s worth of expenditure.

The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Christ Apostolic Church (Bethel) UK To the Trustees of Christ Apostolic Church (Bethel) UK

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out in the attachment.

Respective responsibilities of the 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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is what is needed.

Basis of 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 includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all 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:

(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or

(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Note 2 Accounting policies

2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;

• it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and

• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Offsetting

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition Grants and donations criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).

Legacies

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Government grants

The charity has received government grants in the reporting period

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Contractual income and performance related grants

Donated goods

Donated services and facilities

Support costs

Volunteer help

This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria Settlement of insurance are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the claims SoFA.

Investment gains and

losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Governance and support

costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service Grants with performance or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the conditions grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants payable without Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to performance conditions realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
