The Trustees of Kilkinamurry Presbyterian Church c/o Ian Bingham - Session
I report on the accounts for the above church y/e 31 December 2022 which cover the groups as laid out on the church report. I have not had access to other groups that would be associated with joint church Drumgooland and these have been subject to a separate independent review and report.
Your responsibities
As the charity “Kilkinamurry Congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland” trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act (NI) 2008.
My responsibilities
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act, follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Commission under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act, and state whether any particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report.
I have examined the digital records produced by General church a/c, Building Fund, Missions, PW, SS and other Investments a/c. I conducted a check of the information provided and totted income from the sources as laid out in the current a/c. I have also queried any items within the accounts produced to satisfy myself that they are correct and reflect what is shown on the individual reports.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
-
That accounting records were not kept in accordance with s63 of the Charities Act.
-
That the accounts do not comply with those accounting records.
-
That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.
-
That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
I have completed my examination and am satisfied that measures put in place last year and commented on in my report have been carried out to help with accurate reporting.
I am very pleased to see that the FWO has come back again to pre-covid levels which in turns aids extra income from Gift Aid. This is to be encouraged in the congregation for those who are tax-payers.
I also note there was a new piano purchased through the Building A/c and there was also a healthy donation made for its purchase. Kilkinamurry has been blessed with great givers.
Yours faithfully
