donations to appropriate charitable organisations and activities as agreed each year by the members

(C) Develop relationships with other Churches in Northern Ireland as well as nationally and overseas,
which are mutually beneficial in advancing our aims. The public benefit of such association is
expected to be in community events and undertaken in conjunction with other Churches in Northern
Ireland to enable us to coordinate our work with other Churches in Northern Ireland. The benefit is
demonstrated through the ongoing numbers attending our Children's and Youth organisations, along
wilh our general programme of activities and services provided for both young and old. It is also
demonstrated through the amount of practical provisions made avai5able for those in need and through
ongoing relationships with other agencies identifying those needs. We do not see any harm being
caused by our charity. We are not invasive, and we will only help those who will allow us to help them.
Followers or adherents of the church doctrine, potential followers and the wider public. There is no
private benefit from our outreach, any money collected, or items donated are used for the running of
the organisation or passed on to those in need. Sf there is any private benefit it is incidental.

Results for the year ended 30 September 2024 are given in the Statement of Financial Activities on
page 9. The assets and liabilities as at 30 September 2024 are given on statement of Financial
Position on page 10. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with their related notes,

The Board of Trustees consider that the unrestricted funds of the charity have sufficient resources and
assels available which are adequate to fulfil their obligations.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the church that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use
should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The
trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in
funding, they will be able to continue the church's current activities while consideration is given to
ways in which additional funds may be raised,
The trustees have assessed the major risks to whlch the church is exposed, and are Wofking to
mitigate exposure to the major risks.

YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Audltor's responsiblllties for the audit of the annual report and flnancial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Annual report and financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue
an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economlc
decisions of users taken on the basis of these Annual report and financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Company
through enquiry of management, industry research and the application of cumulative audit knowledge.
We identified the following principal laws and regulations relevant to the Company Companies Act
2006 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
We developed an understanding of the key fraud risks to the entity (including how fraud might occur),
the controls in place to help mitigate those risks, and the accounts, balances and disclosures within
the financial statements which may be susceptible to management bias. Our understanding was
obtained throu9h review of the financial statements for significant accounting estimates, analysis of
joumal entries, walkthrough of the key control cycles in place and enquiry of management.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Annual report and financial
ststements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Iru5tees' use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in
our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Annual report and financial statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtsined up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation. structure and content of the Annual report and financial

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charily's members, as a body, in accordance with section 65 of the
Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to
the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to
anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report,
or for the opinions we have formed.
