Report of the Independent Examiner

I have examined the Accounts of the Birmingham South Christadephian Ecclesia for the Year to December 31[st] , 2023. In connection with this examination, no matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respects the requirements to keep accounting records and prepare accounts have not been met.
